Subject: CRD: Because the Night
To: jcarson 

Here's another one that I posted to r.m.m.g.t. last night for the archives:

Because the Night - Words and Music by Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith

I'm lifting this straight out of Springsteen Complete...sounds much
better on piano/keyboard than solo guitar IMO, but here it is
anyway...all chords are either open (D,G,A,C) or barres near the nut
(F#,Bm).

Intro: Bm, G, A, Bm, G, A, Bm

Verse:

Bm (x24432@1)    G (320003@1)        A (x02220@1)       BmTake (x24432@1)me now, baby, here as I am.
        G (320003@1)           A (x02220@1)  BmPull (x24432@1)me close try and understand.
          G (320003@1)            A (x02220@1)    BmDesire (x24432@1)is hunger, is the fire I breathe.
          G (320003@1)        A (x02220@1)      BmLove (x24432@1)is a banquet on which we feed.
G (320003@1)     A (x02220@1)          D (xx0232@1)  ACome (x02220@1)on now, try and understand
    Bm (x24432@1)  G (320003@1)                   Athe (x02220@1)way I feel when I'm in your hand.
D (xx0232@1)     G (320003@1)              ATake (x02220@1)my hand; come under cover.
     C (x32010@1)                 Bm (x24432@1)                F#They (244322@1)can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now.

Chorus:

Bm (x24432@1)    G (320003@1)               ABecause (x02220@1)the night belongs to lovers.
Bm (x24432@1)    G (320003@1)               A (x02220@1)BmBecause (x24432@1)the night belongs to lust.
        G (320003@1)               ABecause (x02220@1)the night belongs to lovers.
Bm (x24432@1)    G (320003@1)               A (x02220@1)BmBecause (x24432@1)the night belongs to us.


Second verse:

Have I doubt when I'm alone?
Love is a ring on the telephone.
Love is an angel disguised as lust,
here in our bed until the morning comes.
Come on now, try and understand
the way I feel under your command.
Take my hand as the sun descends.
They can't touch you now, can't touch you now, can't touch you now.

Repeat chorus

Ending:

     D (xx0232@1)  A (x02220@1)       D (xx0232@1)        A (x02220@1)                 Bm (x24432@1) AWith (x02220@1)love we sleep; with doubt the viscious circle turn and turns.
D (xx0232@1)     A (x02220@1)          Bm (x24432@1)  A (x02220@1)     D (xx0232@1)      AWithout (x02220@1)you I cannot live, forgive the yearning, burning
    G (320003@1)   D (xx0232@1)      GI (320003@1)believe in time, too real to feel,
   Bm (x24432@1)          D (xx0232@1)           G (320003@1)            F#so (244322@1)touch me now, touch me now, touch me now.


Repeat chorus and fade.
