Further On Up The Road chords by Bruce Springsteen

Further On (Up The Road) - Bruce Springsteen (From The Rising)

At last! a new album from the Boss, and some cracking tunes on it, including this classic E street rocker!!

yeah I know its only the chords cos I can't do the rest - if anyone else knows it please tell me!!

Lyrics are taken straight out of the book, so if they're wrong then Bruce sang the wrong words.

Put a capo on the first fret, and play these chords

The intro is Em

                    Em                       G
Where the road is dark, and the seed is sowed,

                   Em                          G
Where the gun is cocked, and the bullet's cold,

                      Em      D                 Em        D
Where the miles are marked  in blood and gold,

       C                 D             Em
I'll meet you further on, up the road,


                       Em                            G
Got on my dead man's suit, and my smilin' skull ring,

                     Em                      G
My lucky graveyard boots, and a song to sing

                  Em      D                           Em        D
I got a song to sing,    to keep me out of the cold

           C                 D             Em
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,


                    D                          Em
Further on up the road, further on up the road,

                   Em                       G
Where the way is dark and the night is cold,

            Em       D                  Em     D
One sunny mornin'  we'll rise I know,

           C                 D             Em
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,


Guitar solo over: Em G x2 Em D x2 C D Em (basically the verse)

                        Em                       G
Now I been out in the desert, just doin' my time,

                       Em                     G
Searchin through the dust, lookin' for a sign,

                          D                            Em
If there's a light up ahead, well brother I don't know,

                 Em                       B
But I got this fever, burnin' in my soul,

                    Em           D             Em      D
So let's take the good times,   as they go,

           C                 D             Em
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,



                    G                          Em
Further on up the road, further on up the road,

                    G                          Em
Further on up the road, further on up the road,

            Em       D                  Em     D
One sunny mornin'  we'll rise I know,

           C                 D             Em
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,

            Em       D                  Em     D
One sunny mornin'  we'll rise I know,

           C                 D             Em
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,
