• Capo on 2nd

Devil's Arcade
                  by
              Bruce Springsteen

I love this song. Off the album "Magic", this is my interpretation of the song. I'm
sure this is right.

Guitar 1
Capo 2nd fret

  D MajorD           A minorAm
Remember the morning we dug up your gun
    C majorC           G+G
The worms in the barrel, the hanging sun
    D MajorD         A minorAm
Those first nervous evenings of perfume and gin
     C majorC           G+G
The lost smell on your breath as I helped you get it in
     E minorEm           C majorC
The rush of your lips, the feel of your name
     E minorEm        G+G       D MajorD
The beat in your heart, the devil's arcade

     D MajorD           A minorAm
You said "Heroes are needed, so heroes get made"
    C majorC        G+G
Somebody made a bet, somebody paid
    D MajorD         A minorAm
The cool desert morning and nothing to save
   C majorC         G+G
Just metal and plastic where your body caved
    E minorEm          C majorC
The slow games of poker with Lieutenant Ray
     E minorEm          C majorC
In the ward with the blue walls, a sea with no name
     E minorEm           G+G       D MajorD
Where you lie adrift with the heroes of the devil's arcade


      C majorC             E minorEm
You sleep and you dream, your buddies Charlie and James
      E minorEm       G+G         D MajorD
And wake with a thick desert dust on your skin

The beat of your heart, the beat of your heart
    E minorEm         C majorC
The beat of your heart, the beat of your heart
    E minorEm          C majorC
The beat of your heart, the beat of her heart
    E minorEm           C majorC
The beat of your heart, the slow burning away
     E minorEm      G+G       D MajorD
Of the bitter fires of the devil's arcade
