Bruce Springsteen - Candys Boy

a great song off “the promise . ” some great chord changes ,
the a to Am especially .

intro : E A E E A E

E A E
in candy’s room their are pictures of her savior on the wall
E A E
but to get to candy’s room , you’ve got to walk the darkness of candy’s hall
C#m G#m A Am
strangers from the city call my baby’s number , and they bring candy toys
E B
but when i come knockin’ , she smiles pretty , she knows tonight i’m gonna be
E
candy’s boy

E A E
well in the olden days when the mongolian gangs rode herd out on route nine
E A E
we’d go ridin’ in the rain , runnin’ south , way down through the pines
C#m G#m A Am
weekends in the sun in that cheap motel down by the dynamo
E B
we loved each other till their was nothing left , and drove that old car as
E
hard and fast as she would go

C#m G#m A Am
well like a cold winter wind blowin’in babe i needed you
E B E
but candy’s got a man who takes care of her better than i do

E A E
well there’s machine and there’s fire , waitin’ for us on the edge of town
E A
and there’s some rough boys for hire , and they’re waitin’ to blow me and
E C#m G#m A
candy down it’s all right cause they can’t touch us now they’ll never
Am
destroy
E B E A
my sweet love , for i will forever be candy’s boy . . hmm hmm hmmhmm hmm hmm
E B E
my sweet love , i will forever be candy’s boy

repeat chords for a minute and a half ( ! ) of organ solo and fade .

note : the c#m’s may or may not be C#m7 . it sounds fine either way , but
whatever seems more accurate . it makes a clearer difference on the piano .
