The E Street Shuffle

(Bruce Springsteen)

Intro [chords implied by horns]:

Am Em Dm G C [guitar and clavinet enter]

/ / / / / / / / / / / / /

Verse 1:

C

Sparks fly on E Street when the boy prophets walk it handsome and hot

All the little girls' souls grow weak when the manchild gives them a

double shot

F7

The schoolboy bops pull out all the stops on a Friday night

C

The teenage tramps in skin-tight pants do the E Street dance and

everything's all right

G7

Them kids down there are either dancin' or hooked up in a scuffle

Am F7

Dressed in snakeskin suits backed with Detroit muscle

Ab9 G9 C

They're doin' the E Street Shuffle

Verse 2:

Now those E Street brats in twilight dual flashlight phantoms in

full star stream

Down fire trails on silver nights with blonde girls playing sweet

sixteen

The newsboys say the heat's been bad since Power 13 gave a trooper

all he had in a summer scuffle

And Power's girl, Little Angel, been on the corner keepin' those

crazy boys out of trouble

Little Angel steps the shuffle like she ain't got no brains

She's deaf in combat down on Lover's Lane

She drives all them local boys insane

Yes, she does

Bridge:

Am G Am G Am Dm Em Am

Little Angel says, "Oh oh oh (oh oh oh), everybody form a line

Am G Am G Am Dm Em Am

Oh oh oh (oh oh oh), everybody form a line"

E7#9 Dm G

Verse 3:

Well the sparks fly on E Street when the boy prophets walk it handsome

and hot

All them little girls' souls grow weak when the manchild gives them a

double shot

Little Angel hangs out at Easy Joe's, it's a club where all the riot

squad goes when they're cashin' in for a cheap hustle

But them boys are still on the corner loose and doin' that lazy

E Street Shuffle

As them sweet summer nights turn into summer dreams Little Angel

picks up Power and he slips on his jeans

And they move on out down to the scene

All the kids are there
