Bruce Springsteen – Black Mountain Ballad (Guitar)

         G                      D       G
When the night wind rustles the faraway eaves

        C                                D          G
Rolling down the long valley through the cottonwood trees

                              D             G
And the wild river rises with last season's rain

   C                        D         G      D  G
I awake in the darkness and call your name

G                                  D          G
I lie awake, and I know that sleep won't come soon

            C                                           D      G
I watch the headlights crawl up and down the wall of my lonely room

                                        D                G
I think of that club by the river where we danced on and on

            C                                        D      G
I swore our love could last forever, and you laughed on and on

G                                       D             G
There's a highway over yonder, lit by a moon pale and cold

        C                        D                  G
Where together we would wander before our love grew old

                                               D              G
There were roadside stands and a hundred faces we would never know

       C                                        D                G
But we held tight to each other, and you said, "John, I love you so"

        C             G           C
I wanna weep, but the tears won't run

                       G           C
I wanna sleep, but the sleep don't come

              G                                  D          G
Last night, I stood on Black Mountain and looked out to the sea

          C                                      D      G
Where the waters of the Mystery River go rushing endlessly

                                   D           G   C
All she said was, "I'm sorry, Joe, but I gotta go"

                             D         G
We had it once, but we ain't got it anymore
