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