Adam Raised A Cain - Bruce Springsteen

Em  Am    Em  Am    Em  Am    Am   Em

       Em        Am          Em  Am          Em   Am       Am  Em
In the summer that I was baptized my father held me to his side
               Am       Em  Am          Em    Am          Am  Em
As they put me to the water he said how on that day I cried
         Am          C
We were prisoners of love a love in chains
         Am                        C
He was standin' in the door I was standin' in the rain
          Am                    B7
With the same hot blood burning in our veins

     Em       Am    Em            Am
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain
     Em       Am    Em            Am 
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain

All of the old faces ask you why you're back
They fit you with position and the keys to your daddy's Cadillac
In the darkness of your room your mother calls you by your true name
You remember the faces the places the names
You know it's never over it's relentless as the rain
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain, 
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain

Em  Am    Em  Am    Em  Am    Am   Em
Em
 Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh

In the Bible Cain slew Abel and East of Eden he was cast
You're born into this life paying for the sins of somebody else's past  
Daddy worked his whole life for nothing but the pain
Now he walks these empty rooms looking for something to blame
You inherit the sins you inherit the flames
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain, 
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain

  Am                             C
Lost but not forgotten from the dark heart of a dream
     Em       Am
Adam raised a Cain (to fade out)
