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 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
Where the road is dark, and the seed is sowed,
Where the gun is cocked, and the bullet's cold,
Where the miles are marked in blood and gold,
I'll meet you further on, up the road,
Got on my dead man's suit, and my smilin' skull ring,
My lucky graveyard boots, and a song to sing
I got a song to sing, to keep me out of the cold
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,
Further on up the road, further on up the road,
Where the way is dark and the night is cold,
One sunny mornin' we'll rise I know,
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,
Guitar solo over: x2 x2 (basically the verse)
Now I been out in the desert, just doin' my time,
Searchin through the dust, lookin' for a sign,
If there's a light up ahead, well brother I don't know,
But I got this fever, burnin' in my soul,
So let's take the good times, as they go,
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,
Further on up the road, further on up the road,
Further on up the road, further on up the road,
One sunny mornin' we'll rise I know,
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,
One sunny mornin' we'll rise I know,
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,
Or if you don't want to use/don't have a capo and still wanna be in tune with the street band:
