Reason to Believe Chords by Bruce Springsteen

[Intro]

[Verse]
Bb F                                    
■  ■ Seen a man standin' over a dead dog
                    F    
By the highway in a ditch
                        F      
He's lookin' down kinda puzzled
F7                          
Pokin' that dog with a stick
C                      F   
Got his car door flung open
     Bb                      F7       
He's standin' out on Highway thirtyone
                            F      C
Like if he stood there long enough ■
                  F      
That dog'd get up and run
                Bb    Fsus4
Struck me kinda funny ■    
F                           
Seemed kinda funny sir to me
                          Bb   F  
Still at the end of every hard day
C           C7             F      
People find some reason to believe
                   F     
Now Mary Lou loved Johnny
                     F   
With a love mean and true
    F                                   
She said baby I'll work for you everyday
                       C  
Bring my money home to you
                  F        Bb
One day he up and left her ■ 
               Fsus4 F
And ever since that  ■
                             Fsus4     Csus4
She waits down at the end of that dirt road 
                         F   
For young Johnny to come back


[Chorus]
                Bb    F
Struck me kinda funny ■
           F     
Funny yeah indeed
                        Bb          F  
How at the end of every hard earned day
C                                 
People find some reason to believe

[Verse]
                   F    
Take a baby to the river
Fsus4             F         
Kyle William they called him
                 F        
Wash the baby in the water
                 C         
Take away little Kyle's sin
               F            
In a whitewash shotgun shack
Bb                F   
An old man passes away
Fsus4                      Bb        Fsus4 C
■     Take the body to the graveyard ■     ■
         F        
Over him they pray
               Bb   F 
Lord won't you tell us
        Csus4     F      
Tell us what does it mean
                    Bb          F  
At the end of every hard earned day
C                          F      
People find some reason to believe
Fsus4               
Congregation gathers
            F7       
Down by the riverside
F                           
Preacher stands with a bible
                             F    
Groom stands waitin' for his bride
C F                             
■ Congregation gone the sun sets
F                           
Behind a weepin' willow tree
             C                          
Groom stands alone and watches the river
           C           
Rush on so effortlessly


[Chorus]
F         F7 Fsus4 F     Fsus4        F 
Wonderin' ■  ■     Where can his baby be
                          F              
Still at the end of every hard earned day
       F                          
People find some reason to believe
