I didn't know where this really belonged but I figured this would be as good a place as any to post it. I was listening to the song and just played it out. As with most Springsteen harp it's really simple, but man, what a great song. Go out and make your band learn it, play it every show you can, and watch the applause pour down. :)
Anyway.
"Thunder Road" intro - Bruce Springsteen
Key of "F" diatonic in 1st position, key of F
1B[sus] 2B 3B 4B--6B[sus]
5B 5D 5B 4B 3B
3,4D 3,4B 3,4D[sus]
(then the rhythm picks up into the body of the song, and play..)
4,5D 4,5B 3,4B 4,5B
4,5D 4,5B 3,4B 4,5B
("The screen door slams..." No more harp the rest of the song.)
(Note: "--" is slide, as you may have guessed.)
