Badlands - Bruce Springsteen
E A B E A B E A B A B7 E A B
Lights out tonight trouble in the heartland
E A B
Got a head-on collision smashin' in my guts man
E A B E
I'm caught in a crossfire that I don't understand
A B7
But there's one thing I know for sure girl
I don't give a damn for the same old played out scenes
I don't give a damn for just the in-betweens
Honey I want the heart I want the soul i want control right now
You better listen to me baby
A
Talk about a dream try to make it real
B
You wake up in the night with a fear so real
A B A
You spend your life waiting for a moment that just don't come
A B A B
Well don't waste your time waiting
E A C#m B
Badlands you gotta live it every day
E
Let the broken hearts stand
A C#m B
As the price you've gotta pay
E
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood
A B E | A B |
And these badlands start treating us good
Workin' in the field till you get your back burned
Workin' `neath the wheels till you get your facts learned
Baby I got my facts learned real good right now
You better get it straight darling
Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied till he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got
Now I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith that could save me
I believe in the hope and I pray that some day
It will raise me above these
Chorus
For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive
I wanna find one face that ain't looking through me
I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these
Chorus
E A C#m B
Woah oh oh Badlands...

Adam Raised A Cain chords – Bruce Springsteen V2
Adam Raised A Cain - Bruce Springsteen
Em Am Em Am Em Am Am Em Em Am Em Am Em Am Am Em
In the summer that I was baptized my father held me to his side
Am Em Am Em Am Am Em
As they put me to the water he said how on that day I cried
Am C
We were prisoners of love a love in chains
Am C
He was standin' in the door I was standin' in the rain
Am B7
With the same hot blood burning in our veins
Em Am Em Am
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain
Em Am Em Am
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain
All of the old faces ask you why you're back
They fit you with position and the keys to your daddy's Cadillac
In the darkness of your room your mother calls you by your true name
You remember the faces the places the names
You know it's never over it's relentless as the rain
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain,
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain
Em Am Em Am Em Am Am Em Em
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh
In the Bible Cain slew Abel and East of Eden he was cast
You're born into this life paying for the sins of somebody else's past
Daddy worked his whole life for nothing but the pain
Now he walks these empty rooms looking for something to blame
You inherit the sins you inherit the flames
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain,
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain
Am C
Lost but not forgotten from the dark heart of a dream
Em Am
Adam raised a Cain (to fade out)Frankie Fell In Love chords – Bruce Springsteen V2

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: Hunter of Invisible Game
From the High Hopes
E - A - B - E E - A - B - E E - A - B - E E - A - B - E E A B E
I hauled myself up out of the ditch
E A B E
And built me an ark of gopher wood and pitch
E A B E
Sat down by the roadside and waited on the rain
E A B E
I am the hunter of invisible game
E - A - B - E E A B E
Well I awoke last night to the heavy clicking and clack
E A B E
And a scarecrow on fire along the railroad tracks
E A B E
There were empty cities and burning plains
E A B E
I am the hunter of invisible game
E - A - B - E E - A - B - E C#m B A E
We all come up a little short and we go down hard
E A B E
These days I spend my time skipping through the dark
E A B E
Through the empires of dust, I chant your name
E A B E
I am the hunter of invisible game
E - A - B - E E - A - B - E E A B E
Through the bone yard rattle and black smoke We rolled on,
E A B E
Down into the valley Where the beast has his throne
E A B E
There I sing my song and I sharpen my blade
E A B E
I am the hunter of invisible game
E - A - B - E C#m B A E
Strength is vanity and time is illusion
E A B E
I feel you breathing, the rest is confusion
E A B E
Your skin touches mine, what else to explain
E A B E
I am the hunter of invisible game
E - A - B - E E - A - B - E E A B E
Now pray for yourself that you may not fall
E A B E
When the hour of deliverance comes on us all
E A B E
When our hope and faith and courage and trust
E A B E
Can rise or vanish like dust into dust
C#m B A
There is a kingdom of love waiting to be reclaimed
E A B E
I am the hunter of invisible game
E A B E
I am the hunter of invisible game
E A B E
I am the hunter of invisible game

**************************************************************Bobby Jean chords – Bruce Springsteen V3
A | C#m | D | B7sus2
A
Well, I came by your house the other day,
C#m
Your mother said you went away
D
She said there was nothing that I could have done,
B7sus2
There was nothing nobody could say
A
Me and you we've known each other,
A/C#
Ever since we were sixteen
D
I wished I would have known, I wished I could've called you,
B7sus2 A
Just to say goodbye, Bobby Jean
Now you hung with me when all the others,
Turned away, turned up their nose
We liked the same bands, we liked the same music,
We liked the same clothes
We told each other that we were the wildest,
The wildest things we'd ever seen
Now I wished you would have told me, I wished I could have talked to you,
Just to say goodbye, Bobby Jean
D
Now we went walking in the rain,
F#m
Talking about the pain that from the world we hid
D
Now there aint nobody, no where no how,
A E
gonna ever understand me the way you did
Maybe you'll be out there on that road somewhere,
In some bus or train traveling along
In some motel room you'll hear a radio playing,
And you'll hear me sing this song
Well, if you do you'll know I'm thinking of you,
And all the miles in between
And I'm just calling one last time,
Not to change your mind,
D
But just to say I miss you baby,
E A
good luck, goodbye Bobby Jean
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
The beautiful 4th chord is NOT just B7. It's B7sus2 (B-seventh-suspended-second). It
contains the following notes:
A string = B (root note)
D string = F# (perfect 5th)
G string = A (dominant 7th)
B string = C# (suspended 2nd)
High E string = F# (perfect 5th)
This is a very basic version for guitar. The Piano plays something like this:
Asus2 - A | Asus2 - A | Asus2/C# - A/C#
| Asus2/C# - A/C# D - Dsus2 | D - Dsus2 | B7sus2 | B7sus2The Wall chords – Bruce Springsteen V2
Eb tuning
A new version of "The Wall" of of Springsteen's High Hopes. The timing is a little weird
but easy if you listen. The lyrics are different from the unreleased version.
Pluck the chords throughout

Limousines rush down Pennsylvania Avenue rustling the leaves as they fall

Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Song: Outlaw Pete
Working on a Dream
Hugo Kleinhans (hugotahell)
Am D
He was born a little baby on the Appalachian Trail
E Am
At six months old he'd done three months in jail
Am D
Here at the bank in his diapers and his little bare baby feet
E Am
All he said was "Folks, my name is Outlaw Pete."
Chorus
C
I'm Outlaw Pete!
G
I'm Outjaw Pete!
Am
Can you hear me?
D
Doo, doo, doo, doo doo
Am D
At twenty-five a mustang pony he did steal
E Am
And they rode around and 'round on heaven's wheel
Am D
Father Jesus, I'm an outlaw killer and a thief
E Am
And I slowed down only to saw my grief
C
I'm Outlaw Pete!
G
I'm Outlaw Pete!
Am
Can you hear me?
D
Doo, doo, doo, doo doo
F C
They cut his trail of tears across the countryside
G D E
And where he went, women wept and men died
Am D
One night he woke from a vision of his own death
E Am
Saddled his pony and rode her deep into the West
Am D
Married a Navajo girl and settled down on the res
E Am
And as the smoke fell he held that beautiful daughter to his chest
C
I'm Outlaw Pete!
G
I'm Outlaw Pete!
Am
Can you hear me?
D
Can you hear me?
C
Can you hear me?
Instrumental Break: C - F - Am - F x2
F C
Out of the East on an Irish stallion came Bounty Hunter Dan
G Am
His heart quickened and burned by the need to get his man
F C
He found Pete peacefully fishing by the river, pulled his gun and got the drop
G D F E
He said, "Pete, you think you've changed, but you have not."
Am D
He cocked his pistol, pulled the trigger and shot him ?let it start?
E Am
He drew a knife from his boot and pierced Dan through the heart
Am D
Dan smiled as he laid in his own blood dying in the sun
E Am
And whispered in Pete's ear, "We cannot undue these things we've done."
C
You're Outlaw Pete!
G
You're Outlaw Pete!
Am
Can you hear me?
D
Can you hear me?
E
Can you hear me?
Am D
For forty days and nights Pete rode and did not stop
E Am
Till he sat high upon an icy mountain top
Am D
He watched the hawk on a desert updraft slip and slide
E Am
Moved to the edge and dug his spurs deep into his pony's side
Instrumental Break:

Here stuff this in your pocket
It'll look like you're carrying a friend
And remember, just don't smile
Change your shirt, `cause tonight we got style
Well Cherry says she's gonna walk
`Cause she found out I took her radio and hocked it
But Eddie, man, she don't understand
That two grand's practically sitting here in my pocket
And tonight's gonna be everything that I said
And when I walk through that door
I'm just gonna throw that money on the bed
She'll see this time I wasn't just talking
Then I'm gonna go out walking
Hey Eddie, can you catch us a ride?
