Tonight my bag is packed
[Ebsus2] Tomorrow I'll [Bb]walk these
tracks
That will [F]lead me a[F7]cross
the [Bb]border
Tomorrow my love and I
[Ebsus2] Will sleep 'neath [Bb]auburn skies
Some[F]where a[F7]cross the
[Bb]border
We'll leave be[Ebsus2]hind my dear
The pain and sadness [dm/F]we
found here
And we'll [Bb]drink from the
Bravo's muddy [Ebsus2]water
Where the sky grows [Bb]gray and
wide
[Ebsus2] We'll meet on the [Bb]other side
[F]There a[F7]cross the [Bb]border
/o:p>
For you I'll build a house
[Ebsus2] High up on a [Bb]grassy hill
Some[F]where a[F7]cross the
[Bb]border
Where pain and memory
[Ebsus2] Pain and memory [Bb]have been
stilled
[F]There a[F7]cross the [Bb]border
And sweet blossoms [Ebsus2]fill
the air
Pastures of [dm/F]gold and green
Roll [Bb]down into cool clear
[Ebsus2]waters
And in your arms 'neath [Bb]open
skies
[Ebsus2] I'll kiss the sorrow [Bb]from your
eyes
[F]There a[F7]cross the [Bb]border

Tonight we'll [Ebsus2]sing the
songs
I'll dream of you my [dm/F]corazon
And [Bb]tomorrow my heart will be
[Ebsus2]strong
And may the saints' bles[Bb]sing
and grace
[Ebsus2] Carry me safely in[Bb]to your arms

For [Ebsus2]what are we
Without hope in [dm/F]our hearts
That someday we'll [Bb]drink from
God's blessed [Ebsus2]waters
And eat the fruit [Bb]from the
vine[Ebsus2]
I know love and fortune [Bb]will
be mine

Em G C

Down on the
boardwalk they're gettin' ready for a fight
Em
G
C G
Gonna see
what them racket boys can do
Now,
there's trouble bustin' in from outta state
And the
D.A. can't get no relief
Gonna be a
rumble out on the promenade
Em
G
C D
And the
gamblin' commission's hangin' on by the skin of his teeth
Em
G C G
Well now,
ev'rything dies, baby, that's a fact
Em G
D Em
But maybe
ev'rything that dies someday comes back
G C G
Put your
makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
Em G C G
And meet me
tonight in Atlantic City
Well, I got
a job and tried to put my money away
But I got
debts that no honest man can pay
So I drew
what I had from the Central Trust
And I
bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus
Now, baby,
ev'rything dies, honey, that's a fact...
D
C Em
Now our
luck may have died and our love may be cold
C D
Em
But with

C Em
We're goin'
out where the sand's turnin' to gold
C G C G
Put on your
stockin's baby, `cause the night's gettin' cold
C G C G
And maybe
ev'rything dies, baby, that's a fact
C G
D C
But maybe
ev'rything that dies someday comes back
Now, I been
lookin' for a job, but it's hard to find
Down here
it's just winners and losers and don't
get caught on the wrong side of that line
Well, I'm
tired of comin' out on the losin' end
So, honey,
last night I met this guy and I'm gonna do a little favor for him,
Well, I
guess everything dies, baby, that's a fact...
Backstreets
Bruce
Springsteen
Intro:
G Em G Em G Em D C
G Em
One soft
infested summer me and Terry became
friends,
G Em
trying in
vain to breathe the fire we was born
in.
G Em
Catching
rides to the outskirts, tying faith
between our teeth,
D
C D
sleeping in
that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat.
G C G C
And hiding
on the Backstreets, hiding on the Backstreets,
G Am7 G D Em
with a love
so hard and filled with defeat.
C G Em
G Em
Running for
our lives at night on them Backstreets.
Slow
dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton's Wing
where
desp'rate lovers park, we sat with the last of the Duke Street kings,
Huddled in
our cars, waiting for the bells that ring,
In the deep
heart of the night, we could let loose of ev'rything. To go....
running on
the Backstreets, running on the Backstreets,
Terry,
you swore we'd live forever, taking it
on them Backstreets together.
G Em
Endless
juke joints and Valentino drag
G Em
Where
Dancers scraped the tears up off the streets dressed down in rags,
G Em
running
into the darkness, some hurt bad, some
really dying,
D
C
At night
sometimes it seemed you could hear the whole damn city crying.
D
Blame it on
the lies that killed us, blame it on
the truth that ran us down.
G C
You can
blame it all on me Terry, it don't matter to me now.
D
when the
breakdown hit at midnight, there was
nothing left to say.
G D Em C D
But I hated
him, and I hated you when you went away.
Well,
laying here in the dark your'e like an angel on my chest,
Just
another tramp of hearts crying tears of faithlessness.
Remember
all the movies, Terry, we'd go to see
Trying to
learn how to walk like the heroes we thought we had to be.
Em Bm
Well, after
all this time to find we're just like all the rest,
C D
Stranded in
the park and forced to confess to...
Hiding on
the Backstreets, hiding on the Backstreets,
Where we
swore forever friends, on the Backstreets until the end.
G C
Hiding on
the Backstreets, hiding on the Backstreets (x6)
D G
It's
alright we'll go hiding on the Backstreets tonight
Because the Night
Bruce
Springsteen
Intro: Bm,
G, A, Bm, G, A, Bm
Bm G A Bm G A Bm
Take me now,
baby, here as I am. Pull me close try and understand.
G A Bm G A Bm
Desire is
hunger, is the fire I breathe. Love is a banquet on which we feed.
G A D A Bm
G A
Come on
now, try and understand the way I feel when I'm in your hand.
D G A C Bm F#
Take my
hand; come under cover. They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt
you now.
Bm G A
Because the
night belongs to lovers.
Bm G A Bm
Because the
night belongs to lust.
G A
Because the
night belongs to lovers.
Bm G A Bm
Because the
night belongs to us.
Have I
doubt when I'm alone?
Love is a
ring on the telephone.
Love is an
angel disguised as lust,
here in our
bed until the morning comes.
Come on now,
try and understand
the way I
feel under your command.
Take my
hand as the sun descends.
They can't
touch you now, can't touch you now, can't touch you now.
D A D A Bm
A
With love
we sleep; with doubt the viscious circle turn and turns.
D A Bm A D A
Without you
I cannot live, forgive the yearning, burning
G
D G
I believe
in time, too real to feel,
Bm D
G F#
so touch me
now, touch me now, touch me now.
BOBBY JEAN
Bruce Springsteen
Intro: A
E D B7
A E
Well I came
by your house the other day, your mother said you went away
D
B7
She said
there was nothing that I could have done, there was nothing nobody could say
A E
Now me and
you we've known each other ever since we were sixteen
D
B7
I wish I
would've known I wished I could have called you just to say goodbye
A E D B7
Bobby Jean
Now you
hung with me when all the others turned away turned up their noise
We liked
the same music we liked the same bands 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 F#m
Now we went
walking in the rain talking about the pain from the world we hid
D A E
Now there
ain't nobody no where no how 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 there'll be 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
B7 D E A
But just to
say I miss you baby, good luck, goodbye, Bobby Jean
Born to Run
Bruce
Springsteen
E A B
In the day
we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
E
A B7
At
night we ride through mansions of
glory in suicide machines
A C#m F#m C#m E B
Sprung from
cages on highway 9, chrome wheels, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line
A C#m F#m C#m
Baby, this
town rips the bones from your back, it's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
E C#m A B E
I wanna get
out while I'm still young ‘cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Well,
Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend, I wanna guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap
your legs 'round these velvet rims, strap your hands across my engines
And
together we could break this trap, we'll run til we drop, and baby we'll never
go back
Walk with
me out on the wire, girl, I'm just a scared and lonely rider
And I gotta
know how it feels, I wanna know if love
is wild, I wanna know if love is real
Solo: E A B
E A B C#m
B E
D G
Beyond
the Palace hemi-powered drones scream
down the boulevard
A
C
The girls
comb their hair in the rear view mirrors and the boys try to look so hard
The amusement
park rises bold and stark, kids are huddled on the beach in the mist
Well, I
wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight in an everlasting kiss
Solo: F C
Well, the
highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's
out on the run tonight, but there ain't no place left to hide
Together we
could live with the sadness, I'll love you with all the maddness in my soul
Someday,
baby, I don't know when we're gonna get to that place that we really wanna go
And we'll
walk in the sun, ‘til then, tramps like us, baby we were born to run.

alone through the Wisconsin night
You're my

Don't let
`em take me to the Cadillac Ranch
Cadillac,

Darkness on the Edge of Town
Bruce
Springsteen
INTRO: G
C
G C G C
Well they're still racing out at the Trestles
but that blood it never burned in her veins
G C G C
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview and a style she's trying to
maintain
G C G
Em G C G Em
Well if she wants to see me,
You can tell her that I'm easily found
G C G Em
Tell her there's a spot out `neath Abram's Bridge
D Dm C D CGDGDGC
Tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town There's a darkness on
the edge of town
Everybody's got a secret Sonny, something
that they just can't face
Some folks spend their whole lives trying to
keep it
They carry it with them every step that they
take
Till some day they just cut it loose, cut it
loose or let it drag `em down
Where no one asks any questions or looks too
long in your face
In the darkness on the edge of town, there's
a darkness on the edge of town

Some folks are born into a good life, other
folks get it anyway anyhow
I lost my money and I lost my wife, them
things don't seem to matter much to me now
Tonight I'll be on that hill `cause I can't
stop, I'll be on that hill with everything I got
Lives on the line where dreams are found and
lost, I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost
For wanting things that can only be found in
the darkness on the edge of town.
