Devils Arcade chords by Bruce Springsteen

Chords with lyrics

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 MajorE             B minorBm
Remember the morning we dug up your gun

   D MajorD
The worms in the barrel, the hanging sun

    E MajorE              B minorBm
Those first nervous evenings of perfume and gin

     D MajorD
The lost smell on your breath as I helped you get it in

   F# minorF#m            D MajorD
The rush of your lips, the feel of your name

   F# minorF#m             A augmentedA      E MajorE
The beat in your heart, the devil's arcade

     E MajorE            B minorBm
You said "Heroes are needed, so heroes get made"

     D MajorD
Somebody made a bet, somebody paid

   E MajorE             B minorBm
The cool desert morning and nothing to save

   D MajorD
Just metal and plastic where your body caved

   F# minorF#m             D MajorD
The slow games of poker with Lieutenant Ray

    F# minorF#m               D MajorD
In the ward with the blue walls, a sea with no name

        F# minorF#m                A augmentedA      E MajorE
Where you lie adrift with the heroes of the devil's arcade

   B minorBm                  F# minorF#m
You sleep and you dream, your buddies Charlie and James

                A augmentedA       E MajorE
And wake with a thick desert dust on your skin


Instrumental
(Verse chords)

 E MajorE             B minorBm
Voice says "don't worry, I'm here

   D MajorD
Just whisper the word tomorrow in my ear"

 E MajorE              B minorBm
House on a quiet street, a home for the brave

  D MajorD
A augmentedA glorious kingdom with the sun on your face

  F#M              D MajorD
Rising from a long night as dark as the grave

      F# minorF#m              D MajorD
On a thin chain of next moments and something like faith

   F# minorF#m          D MajorD
On a morning to order a breakfast to make

  F# minorF#m              D MajorD
A augmentedA bed draped in sunshine, a body that waits

     F# minorF#m              D MajorD
For the touch of your fingers, the end of the day

   F# minorF#m             D MajorD
The beat of your heart, the beat of your heart

   F# minorF#m             D MajorD
The beat of your heart, the beat of your heart

   F# minorF#m             D MajorD
The beat of your heart, the beat of her heart

   F# minorF#m               D MajorD
The beat of your heart, the slow burning away

    F# minorF#m           A augmentedA      E MajorE
Of the bitter fires of the devil's arcade
