Reason to Believe - Bruce Springsteen



G                                         C                    G

Seen a man standin' over a dead dog lyin' by the highway in a ditch

                                                       D

He's lookin' down kinda puzzled pokin' that dog with a stick

                       G          C                       G

Got his car door flung open he's standin' out on Highway 31

                        C       G  D                     G

Like if he stood there long enough that dog'd get up and run

                C   G             D           G

Struck me kinda funny seem kinda funny sir to me

                    C            G          D                  G

At the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe



                          C                     G

Now Mary Lou loved Johnny with a love mean and true

                                                                      D

She said "Baby I'll work for you every day and bring my money home to you"

              G           C                G

One day he up and left her and ever since that

                                   C    G    D                         G

She waits down at the end of that dirt road for young Johnny to come back

                C   G                   D         G

Struck me kinda funny seemed kind of funny sir to me

                        C            G           D                 G

How at the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe

                              C                   G

Take a baby to the river Kyle William they called him

                                                    D

Wash the baby in the water take away little Kyle's sin

                   G             C              G

In a whitewash shotgun shack an old man passes away

                      C            D             G

Take his body to the graveyard and over him they pray

               C    G               D        G

Lord won't you tell us tell us what does it mean

                           C           G          D                  G

Still at the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe



                      C                G

Congregation gathers down by the riverside

                                                            D

Preacher stands with his Bible groom stands waitin' for his bride

              G                    C                       G

Congregation gone and the sun sets behind a weepin' willow tree

              C                  D                         G

Groom stands alone and watches the river rush on so effortlessly

C     G              D       G

Wonderin' where can his baby be

                           C           G          D                  G

Still at the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe
