girls in their summer clothes chords
bruce springsteen *

C F 2

x C
well the street lights shine ,
F C G
down on blessing avenue
C
lovers they walk by ,
F G
holding hands two by two

C
a breeze crosses the porch ,
F C G
bicycle spokes spin around
C
jacket’s on , i’m out the door;
F G
tonight i’m gonna burn this town down

F C
and the girls in their summer clothes ,
F C
in the cool of the evening light
F C
the girls in their summer clothes ,
G
pass me by

C
kid’s rubber ball smacks ,
F C G
off the gutter beneath the lamp light
C
big bank clock chimes ,
F G
off go the sleepy front porch lights

C
downtown the store’s alive ,
F C G
as the evening’s underway
C
things been a little tight ,
F G
but i know they’re gonna turn my way

F C
and the girls in their summer clothes ,
F C
in the cool of the evening light
F C
the girls in their summer clothes ,
G
pass me by

C
frankie’s diner’s ,
F C
over on the edge of town
F Am
neon sign spinning around ,
F C F
like a cross over the lost and found

C
fluorescent lights ,
F C
flicker above bob’s grill;
F C
shaniqua brings a coffee and asks “fill?”
F C F G
and says “penny for your thoughts now , my poor bill”

C
she went away ,
F C G
she cut me like a knife
C
had a beautiful thing ,
F G
maybe you just saved my life

F Am
in just a glance ,
F C G
down here on magic street
Am
love’s a fool’s dance ,
F C F G
i ain’t got much sense , but i still got my feet

F C
and the girls in their summer clothes ,
F C
in the cool of the evening light
F C
the girls in their summer clothes ,
G
pass me by

F C
and the girls in their summer clothes ,
F C
in the cool of the evening light
F C
the girls in their summer clothes ,
G
pass me by

C F C G
