Bruce Springsteen: Shut out the light

========================================================================

I got this song from Paul Rappleye, I guess he figured it out himself, so

all credits go to Paul.

========================================================================

It's in E, just three basic chords with a couple of strange fingerings in

the verses...this is from memory so it might not be perfect...

"SHUT OUT THE LIGHT"

(E)

The runway rushed up at him

(A with open g string)

And he felt the wheels touch down

(E)

He stood out on the blacktop

(B with open low e, b, and high e strings)

And took a taxi into town

(E)

He got out down on main street

(A with open g string)

and went into a local bar

(E) (B with open low e, b, and high e strings)

He bought a drink and he found a seat

(E)

In a corner in the dark.

She called up her momma

To get the kids out of the house

She checked herself out in the dining room mirror

and undid an extra button on her blouse

He felt her lying next to him

the clock said four a.m

he was starin' at the ceiling

couldn't move his hands...

(A) (E)

Momma, momma, momma come quick

(A) (E)

I got the shakes and I'm gonna be sick

(A)

Put your arms around me in the cold dark night

(A) (B) (E)

Hey now momma won't you shut out the light

(A)

won't you shut out the light

(E)

won't you shut out the light

(A)

won't you shut out the light

(B) (E)

won't you shut out the light

Well on his porch they stretched a banner

saying "Johnny, Welcome Home"

Poppa pulled his ford out of the garage

and they polished up the chrome

His momma said "Johnny oh johnny

I'm so glad you're here with me"

Poppa said he's sure they'd give him his job back

down at the factory

Momma, momma, momma come quick

I got the shakes and I'm gonna be sick

Put your arms around me in the cold dark night

Hey now momma won't you shut out the light

won't you shut out the light

won't you shut out the light

won't you shut out the light

won't you shut out the light

Now deep in the dark forest,

a forest filled with pain,

beyond a strip of maryland pines

there's a river without a name

In the cold grey morning

Mel Johnson he here stands

He stares out at the lights of the city

and dreams of where he's been

Momma, momma, momma come quick

I got the shakes and I'm gonna be sick

Put your arms around me in the cold dark night

Hey now momma won't you shut out the light

won't you shut out the light

won't you shut out the light

won't you shut out the light

won't you shut out the light
