Randolph Street Master Of Electricity chords by Bruce Springsteen

Chords with lyrics

G+G
I remember yesterday
B minorBm
When I'd sit and watch the hound dogs play
A minorAm
Howlin' at the China moon
D MajorD
Now yesterday is the busted balloon
G+G
Life was young and things were easy,
B minorBm
Days were short, nights were warm
A minorAm
Times were good, hate was shallow
D MajorD
Love was crazy and I had it in my marrow
C majorC
And I swear that I've seen your face
D MajorD
somewhere back in that time and in that place
G+G
Do you remember,?the old house stood like World War Two
B minorBm
with just two rooms and a hall to be used
A minorAm
The lady was mean just slightly unclean
D MajorD
with a heart of cold silver and gold
G+G
The kitchen smelled of kerosene
B minorBm
Ceiling hung down unveiled the rotted beams
A minorAm
and the man, they said, his work it could of hung in the Louvre
D MajorD
Now he sits around all day because his left arm won't move
C majorC
He was a master of the art of electricity
D MajorD
He lectured on tubes and circuitry
C majorC
He was self-employed, but he could never see
D MajorD
his way into the light
G+G
He had a room full of switches and dials and lights
B minorBm
and a head full of clouds and eyes full of sight
A minorAm
And when it got dark,I could hear his heart beat
D MajorD
like a mother in the night
G+G
She stood like a guardian ready to give everything up
B minorBm
If I had asked for a sword and her blood in a cup
A minorAm
but there was just a time when I asked for too much
D MajorD
She sighed because she could not give it
G+G
We used to sit beneath the tree
B minorBm
just the lady, the radio man and me
A minorAm
And I think it was the winter of '63
D MajorD
the man went away and let us be
C majorC
It was early on an August day
D MajorD
that the lady decided she too must go away
C majorC
For her heart it seems could not pay the price
D MajorD
for what her body was buying
G+G
I came home from school and I found the note
B minorBm
I went into the kitchen and lit the old stove
A minorAm
With senses set on overload
D MajorD
I turned on the TV,
G+G
spent the rest of the afternoon
D MajorD
watching all my old cartoons
A minorAm
and thru the hall and across the porch
D MajorD
was the sun surrendered like a crying torch]
