Bruce Springsteen w.Tom Morello - Ghost of Tom Joad - Madison Square Garden, NYC - 2009/10/29&30 chords
Start Jamming...
The roots of rock roll [N] all the way back
through [B] Bob Dylan through Hank Williams
Through Pete Seeger through Woody Guthrie through Lead Belly
Through the fathers of folk music and people who were engaged in
And who wrote about what was going on in the world around them all of us here tonight
Are fortunate to be in this [Bm] room if you pick up the newspapers [B] you see millions of people out of work
You see a blood fight over decent health care for our citizens, and you see people struggling
[E] To hold on to their homes if Woody Guthrie were alive today
He'd have a lot to write about high times on Wall Street and hard times on Main Street
now [Fm] to join my two
[G#m] Great guitar players Steve Van Zandt and Nils Lofgren
I want to bring out [N] one of the greatest guitar players in rock and roll and a great voice from Rage Against the Machine
and the night watchman Tom Morello
[Em]
[E] [Em]
[E]
[Em]
[E] Been walking long the railroad tracks
[G] Gone someplace there's no [D] going back
Highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge
Hot soup on a campfire [E] under the bridge
Shelter like stretching around the corner
[Em]
[G] Welcome to the new [D] world order
Families sleeping in their cars in the southwest
No [Em] home.
No job.
No peace.
No rest
[C] Well
But nobody's kidding [Bm] nobody about [Em] where it goes
[D] I'm sitting down here in the campfire line
[Em] Searching for the ghost of Tom
He
[E] pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
[G] Reach the lights up above and [D] takes a try
Wait for the last shall be first and the first shall be last
in a [Em] cardboard box beat the under
[Em] You got a one-way ticket to the promised land
[G] You got a hole in your belly and a gun [D] in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock bathing in the city's [Em] aqua
[C]
[Em] Everybody knows

Now Tom said
Mama, wherever there's a cop beating a guy
[G] wherever a hungry and born [D] baby cries
Well, there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
[G] Look for me, Mama [Em] Viva
Whoever somebody's fighting for a place to stand [G] for a decent job or [D] a helping hand
Whatever somebody's struggling to be free
Look [G] in their eyes my you'll [E] see me
