The Ghost of Tom Joad
=====================
Bruce Springsteen
---------------------
Bm
Men walkin' long the railroad tracks
D Bm A
Goin' someplace there's no goin' back
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge
Bm A Bm
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretchin' round the corner
D Bm A
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest
Bm A Bm
No home no job no peace no rest
G
The highway is alive tonight
D A Bm
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
A
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Bm A Bm
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad
Bm
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
D Bm A
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
Waitin' for the last shall be first and the first shall be last
Bm A Bm
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
D Bm A
Got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bm A Bm
Bathin' in the city's aqueduct
G
The highway is alive tonight
D A Bm
Where it's headed everybody knows
A
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Bm A Bm
Waiting on The ghost of Tom Joad
Bm
Now Tom said, "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
D Bm A
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
Bm A Bm
Look for me Mom I'll be there
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
D Bm A
Or a decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
Bm A Bm
Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."
G
The highway is alive tonight
D A Bm
Where it's headed everybody knows
A
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Bm A Bm
Waiting on The ghost of Tom Joad
G
The highway is alive tonight
D A Am
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
A
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Bm A Bm
With the ghost of Tom Joad
