Bruce Springsteen – Randolph Street Master Of Electricity (Guitar)

G
I remember yesterday

         Bm
When I'd sit and watch the hound dogs play

Am7
Howlin' at the China moon

     D
Now yesterday is the busted balloon

G
  Life was young and things were easy,

Bm
  Days were short, nights were warm

Am7
  Times were good, hate was shallow

D
  Love was crazy and I had it in my marrow

C
  And I swear that I've seen your face 

           D
Somewhere back in that time and in that place

          C      G
Do you remember

G
The old house stood like World War Two 

      Bm
with just two rooms and a hall to be used

    Am7
The lady was mean just slightly unclean 

        D
With a heart of cold silver and gold

G
  The kitchen smelled of kerosene

Bm
  Ceiling hung down unveiling rotted beams

         Am7
And the man, they said his work it could of hung in the Louvre

              D
But now he sits around all day because his left arm won't move

          C
He was a master of the art of electricity

    D
He lectured on tubes and circuitry

        C
He was self-employed, but he could never see 

     D
His way into the light

         G
He had a room full of switches and dials and lights 

      Bm
And a head full of clouds and eyes full of sight

          Am7
And when it got dark,I could hear his heart beat 

        D
Like a mother in the night

     G
She stood like a guardian ready to give everything up

      Bm
If I asked for a sword and her blood in a cup

                Am7
But there was just a time when I asked for too much

      D
She sighed because she could not give it

G
  We used to sit beneath the tree 

         Bm
Just the lady, the radio man and me

       Am7
And I think it was the winter of '63 

          D
That the man went away and let us be

        C
It was early on an August day 

          D
That the lady decided she too must go away

         C
For her heart it seemed could not pay

        D
The price for what her body was buying

       G
I come home from school and I found the note

       Bm
I went into the kitchen and lit the old stove

      Am7
With senses set on overload

       D
I turned on the TV 

G
  Spent the rest of the afternoon 

Bm
  Watching all my old cartoons 

D                 Am7
  And thru the hall and across the porch 

        D
As the sun surrendered like a crying torch
