BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - STATE TROOPER
from the album "Nebraska"
NOTE: Play a standard powerchord A5 (with fingers 1 and 3) and hammer
your 4th finger on the A-string, 7th fret (this would be a
stretch) every 3rd 1/8 stroke. That works with all the other
powerchords in this song.
All chords are played P.M.!
BTW: This structure is also used for "Open All Night".
A5 D5
New Jersey Turnpike, ridin' on a wet night 'neath the refin'ry's glow
A5
Out where the great black rivers flow
License, registration: I ain't got none
D5 A5
But I got a clear conscience 'bout the things that I done
Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
D5 A5
Please don't stop me, please don't stop me
Maybe you got a kid, maybe you got a pretty wife
D5 A5
The only thing that I got's been both'rin' me my whole life
Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
D5 A5
Please don't stop me, please don't stop me
In the wee, wee hours your mind gets hazy
D5 A5
Radio relay towers lead me to my baby
The radio's jammed up with talk show stations
D5 A5
It's just talk, talk, talk, talk, till you lose your patience
Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
A5
Oooooh Oooooh
Hey, somebody out there, listen to my last prayer
Hiho silver-o, deliver me from nowhere
Oooooh
