Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Song: Devil's Arcade
Album: Magic
Here is my interpretation of this song. It's pretty easy. I've tried to
line the chords up with the lyrics, but they may be a little off. Let me
know if anything sounds wrong.
E Bm
Remember the morning we dug up your gun
D
The worms in the barrel, the hanging sun
E Bm
Those first nervous evenings of perfume and gin
D
The lost smell on your breath as I helped you get it in
F#m D
The rush of your lips, the feel of your name
F#m A E
The beat in your heart, the devil's arcade
E Bm
You said "Heroes are needed, so heroes get made"
D
Somebody made a bet, somebody paid
E Bm
The cool desert morning and nothing to save
D
Just metal and plastic where your body caved
F#m D
The slow games of poker with Lieutenant Ray
F#m D
In the ward with the blue walls, a sea with no name
F#m A E
Where you lie adrift with the heroes of the devil's arcade
Bm F#m
You sleep and you dream, your buddies Charlie and James
A E
And wake with a thick desert dust on your skin
Instrumental
(Verse chords)
E Bm
Voice says "don't worry, I'm here
D
Just whisper the word tomorrow in my ear"
E Bm
House on a quiet street, a home for the brave
D
A glorious kingdom with the sun on your face
F#M D
Rising from a long night as dark as the grave
F#m D
On a thin chain of next moments and something like faith
F#m D
On a morning to order a breakfast to make
F#m D
A bed draped in sunshine, a body that waits
F#m D
For the touch of your fingers, the end of the day
F#m D
The beat of your heart, the beat of your heart
F#m D
The beat of your heart, the beat of your heart
F#m D
The beat of your heart, the beat of her heart
F#m D
The beat of your heart, the slow burning away
F#m A E
Of the bitter fires of the devil's arcade
