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

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