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 Am
Remember the morning we dug up your gun
C G
The worms in the barrel, the hanging sun
D Am
Those first nervous evenings of perfume and gin
C G
The lost smell on your breath as I helped you get it in
Em C
The rush of your lips, the feel of your name
Em G D
The beat in your heart, the devil's arcade
D Am
You said "Heroes are needed, so heroes get made"
C G
Somebody made a bet, somebody paid
D Am
The cool desert morning and nothing to save
C G
Just metal and plastic where your body caved
Em C
The slow games of poker with Lieutenant Ray
Em C
In the ward with the blue walls, a sea with no name
Em G D
Where you lie adrift with the heroes of the devil's arcade
C Em
You sleep and you dream, your buddies Charlie and James
Em G D
And wake with a thick desert dust on your skin

D Am
Voice says "don't worry, I'm here
C G
Just whisper the word tomorrow in my ear"
D Am
House on a quiet street, a home for the brave
C G
A glorious kingdom with the sun on your face
Em C
Rising from a long night as dark as the grave
Em C
On a thin chain of next moments and something like faith
Em C
On a morning to order a breakfast to make
Em C
A bed draped in sunshine, a body that waits
Em C
For the touch of your fingers, the end of the day
Em C
The beat of your heart, the beat of your heart
Em C
The beat of your heart, the beat of your heart
Em C
The beat of your heart, the beat of her heart
Em C
The beat of your heart, the slow burning away
Em G D
Of the bitter fires of the devil's arcade
