Adam Raised A Cain - Bruce Springsteen
Em Am Em Am Em Am Am Em
In the Emsummer thaAmt I was baptEmized Ammy father hEmeld mAme to his AmsideEm  
As they put me Amto the waEmter Amhe said how Emon thaAmt day I crieAmdEm  
We were pAmrisoners of Clove a love in chains
He was stAmandin' in the door I was sCtandin' in the rain
With the sAmame hot blood burning B7in our veins
Adam Emraised a AmCain, EmAdam raised a AmCain
Adam Emraised a AmCain, EmAdam raised a AmCain
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
EmAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh
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
LoAmst but not forgotten from the dCark heart of a dream
Adam Emraised a AmCain (to fade out)
