Wish I Were Blind

Chords and lyrics for Wish I Were Blind by Bruce Springsteen

I love to

see cottonwood blossom in the e

arly

spring

I love to

see the message of love that the

bluebird

brings.

But when I

see you

walkin’ with him

down

Dadd9

along

the

strand

Well I wish I

were blind, w

hen I see you with

your

man.

I love to

see your hair shining in the long

summer’s

light.

I love to

watch the stars fill the sky on a su

mmer

night.

Music

plays, you take his

hand,

I watch how you

touch him as you

Dadd9

start

dance

And I wish I were

blind, when I

see you with your

man.

Dadd9

We struggle here but

all our love’s in

vain

Oh these eye

s that once filled me with your bea

uty

Now

fill me with

pain.

And the light that once

entered

here

banished from me.

Dadd9

Oh, and this

darkness is all baby that

my heart sees.

And though this

world is filled with the

Grace and beauty

of God’s ha

Dadd9

nd,

Oh I wish I we

re blind, whe

n I see you with y

our

man.

Wild Billys Circus Story

Chords and lyrics for Wild Billys Circus Story by Bruce Springsteen

The Mac

hinist climbs his fe

rris wheel like a b

rave

And the fi

reeater’s lyin’ in a p

ool of sweat victim of the he

atwave,

Behind the t

ent the hired hand tig

htens his legs on the sw

ord swallowers b

lade,

Circus town’s on the short

wave

Well the

runway lies a

head like a great false

dawn,

Fat

lady, big mama, Missy

Bimbo sits in her

chair and yawns,

And the

man-beast lies in his

cage sniffin’ pop

corn

And the

midget licks his fi

ngers and suffers

Missy Bimbo’s

scorn

Circus town’s been

born.

Whoa and a p

ress roll drummer go, ballerina to-and-fro cartwheelin’ up on that tigh

trope,

With a can

non blast, lightin’ flash, movin’ fast through the tent, Mars bent,

He’s gonna m

iss his fall,

Oh God save the human can

nonball.

And the fly

ing Zambini’s watch Marguarita do her n

eck

twist,

And the rin

gmaster gets the crowd to count along: 95, 9

97.

A ragged su

itcase in his hand, he steals sile

ntly away from the circus gr

ounds,

And the hig

hway’s haunted by the car

nival

sounds

They dance like a g

reat greasepaint g

host on the

wind,

A man in b

aggy pants, a lonely

face, a crazy

grin,

Runnin’ ho

me to some sma

ll Ohio to

Jesus, send s

ome sweet women to

save all your clowns

And

circus boy dances like a

monkey on barbed wire,

And the

barker romances with a

junkie, she’s got a flat

tire,

And now the

elephants dance real

funky and the

band plays like a jungle

fire,

Circus town’s on the

live

wire.

And the st

rong man Sampson lifts the midget, little Tiny Tim, up on his shoulders, way up

And carries carries him on down the mi

dway past the k

ids, past the sa

ilors, to his di

mly lit trai

ler

And the fe

rris wheel turns and turns l

ike it ain’t ever g

Dsus

onna

sto

And the ci

Dsus

rcus boss leans over and whisper

s in the little boy’s

Dsus

ear,

Hey s

on you want to try the

big

top?

All ab

oard, Nebraska’s our n

ext

stop.

When Youre Alone

Chords and lyrics for When Youre Alone by Bruce Springsteen

Times were tough love was

not

enoug

So you said sorry Johnny I’m gone

gone

But we both

knew

what

was missing honey

So you let out

on your o

Now that pretty form that you

‘ve got baby

Will make sure you ge

alo

But

you’re gonna find our

someday

honey

When You’re alone you’re

alo

When You’re alone you’re

alo

When You’re alone you’re

alo

When You’re alone you ain’t not

hing but a

lone

Now I was

young and pretty on the

mean streets of the

city

And I fought to make’em

With just the shirt on my back I left and

swore I’d never look

back

And man I was gone

gone

one

But there’s things that’ll knock you down you

don’t even see coming

And send you crawling like a

baby

back

home

ou’re gonna find out

that

day

sugar

When You’re alone you’re

alo

When You’re alone you’re

alo

When You’re alone you’re

alo

When You’re alone you ain’t not

hing but a

lone

I knew some day

your runnin’ would be through

And you’d t

hink back on me and

you

And your love would be s

tron

You’d forget all the bad and think only of all the

laughs that we

had

And you’d wanna come

hom

Now it ain’t hard fe

elings or nothin’ sugar

That ain’t what’s got me singing this

song

It’s

just nobody knows baby

where

love

goes

But when it goes it’s

gone

When You’re alone you’re

alo

When You’re alone you’re

alo

When You’re alone you’re

alo

When You’re alone you ain’t not

hing but a

lone

When You’re alone you’re

alo

When You’re alone you’re

alo

When You’re alone you’re

alo

When You’re alone you ain’t not

hing but a

Chords and lyrics for When You Need Me by Bruce Springsteen

When you

need

Call my

My life just isnt the

If you

From your

So if you need

And when this

dirty

world

Has been

cold to you

I’ve got two strong arms waitn’ to

So when thos mean

days come along

We’ll stand together and we’ll

take em’ on

So when you

need

When you

need

Call my

name

My life just isnt the

same

Cause when this world

kicked me around

Baby you picked me up

off the ground

So when you need

I’ll be

there

Chords and lyrics for Walk Like A Man by Bruce Springsteen

I r

emember how rough your hand felt on m

ine

n my wedding day

And the t

ears cried on my shoulder I

uldn’t turn away

Well so m

uch has happened to me

that I d

on’t

understand

All I can think of is being

five years old following behind you

At the

beach tracing your f

ootprints in the sand

Trying to w

alk like a m

By Our

Lady Of The Roses we l

ived in the s

hadow of the elms

I remember ma d

raggin’ me and my sister up the street to the chur

whenever

she heard th

ose wedding bells

Well would they e

ver look so happy agai

n the handsome g

room and his bride

As they st

epped into that long black limosin

e for their mystery r

ide

For to

night you step

away from me and a

lone at the alter I stand

And as I w

atch my bride coming down the aisle

pray

For the s

trength to

walk like a

man

Well now the

years have gone and I’ve gro

rom that seed you’ve sown

But I d

idn’t think there’d be so many st

eps yeah

I’d have to learn on my own

Well I was y

oung and I didn’t know what to d

When I saw your

best steps stolen away

from

Now I’ll do what I c

I’ll walk like a m

Waitin On A Sunny Day

Posted on December 25, 2011 by admin

Chords and lyrics for Waitin On A Sunny Day by Bruce Springsteen

It’s

rainin’ but there ain’t a cloud in the

sky

Must have been a tear from your

eye

Everything’ll be o

kay

It s

funny, thought I felt a sweet summer

breeze

Musta been you sighin’ so

deep

Don’t worry we’re gonna find a

way

I’m waitin’, waitin’ on a su

nny

day

Gonna chase the clouds a

way

Waitin’ on a sunny

day

Without you I’m workin’ with the rain fall

in’

down

Half a party in a one dog

town

I need you to chase the blues a

way

With

out you I’m a drummer girl that can’t keep a

beat

And ice cream truck on a deserted

street

I hope that you’re coming to

sta

I’m waitin’, waitin’ on a su

nny

day

Gonna chase the clouds a

way

Waitin’ on a sunny

day

Hard times baby, well they come to tel

l us all

Sure as the tickin’ of the clock on the

wall

Sure as the turnin’ of the night into

day

Your

smile girl, brings the mornin’ light to my

eyes

Lifts away the blues when I

rise

I hope that you’re coming to

stay

I’m waitin’, waitin’ on a su

nny

day

Gonna chase the clouds a

way

Waitin’ on a sunny

day

Valentines Day

Posted on December 25, 2011 by admin

Chords and lyrics for Valentines Day by Bruce Springsteen

I’m driving a

big lazy car rushin’ up the highway in the dark

I got one hand

steady on the wheel and one hand’s tremblin’ over my heart

It’s

pounding baby like it’s gonna bust right on through

And it a

in’t gonna stop till I’m alone again with you

A friend of mine became a father last night

When w

e spoke in his voice I could hear the light

Of the

skies and the rivers the timberwolf in the pines

And that great

jukebox out on Route 39

They say

he travels fastest who travels alone

But to

night I miss my girl mister tonight I miss my home

Is it the

C#m

sound of the leaves left blown by the wayside

That’s

G#m

got me out here on this spooky old highway tonight

Is it the

cry of the river with the moonlight shining through

That

ain’t what scares me baby what scares me is losing you

They say if you d

ie in your dreams you really die in your bed

But honey

last night I dreamed my eyes rolled straight back in my head

d God’s light came shinin’ on through

I w

oke up in the darkness scared and breathin’ and born anew

It wasn’t the

cold river bottom I felt rushing over me

It wasn’t the

bitterness of a dream that didn’t come true

It wasn’t the

wind in the grey fields I felt rushing through my arms

no baby it was you

So hold me close honey say you’re forever mine

And tell me you’ll be my lonely valentine

Chords and lyrics for Used Cars by Bruce Springsteen

My sister’s in the front seat with an

ice cream

cone

My ma’s in the black seat sittin’

all

lone

As my pa steers her slow out

of the lo

For a

test drive down Michigan

Avenue

Now, my

ma, she fingers her

wedding

band

And watches the salesman stare at my o

ld man’s

hands

He’s telling us all about the break he’d

give

If he c

ould, but he just c

an’t

Well if I could,

I swear I know just w

hat I’d do

Now, m

ister, the day the lottery I win

I ain’t eve

r gonna ride in no used c

ain

Now, the neighbors come from n

ear and f

As we pull up in our brand

new used c

I wish he’d just hit the gas and

let out a c

Tell `em all they can kiss our a

sses

good

bye

My d

ad, he sweats the same job from morni

n’ to m

orn

Me, I walk home on the same dirty streets where

I was b

orn

Up the block I can hear my little sister in the front seat b

lowin’ that

horn

The sounds

echoin’ all down Michigan A

venue

Now, m

ister, the day my numbers comes in

I ain’t ever

gonna ride in no used c
