Bruce Springsteen - Wrecking Ball

capo @ the 3rd fret

intro : D G Bm A D

i was raised out of steel here in the swamps of jersey , some [ G ] misty years ago
through the [ Bm ] mud and the beer , and the blood and the cheers , i’ve seen [ G ] champions come and go
so [ D ] if you got the guts mister , yeah [ G ] if you’ve got the balls
if you [ Bm ] think it’s your time , then step to the line , and bring [ G ] on your wrecking ball

bring on your wrecking [ D ] ball
bring on your wrecking [ G ] ball
come on and take your best [ Bm ] shot , let me see what you’ve [ A ] got
bring on your wrecking [ D ] ball
bring on your wrecking [ D ] ball
bring on your wrecking [ G ] ball
come on and take your best [ Bm ] shot , let me see what you’ve [ A ] got
bring on your wrecking [ D ] ball

now my home was here in the meadowlands , where mosquitoes grow big as airplanes
here where the blood is spilled , the arena’s filled , and giants play the game
so raise up your glasses and let me hear your voices call
come on!
because tonight all the dead are here , so bring on your wrecking ball

bring on your wrecking ball
bring on your wrecking ball
take your best shot , let me see what you’ve got
bring on your wrecking ball

one , two , one two three four!

[ trumpet solo ]

yeah we [ G ] know that come tomorrow , [ Bm ] none of this will be here
so [ G ] hold tight on your anger
[ Bm ] hold tight on your anger
[ G ] hold tight to your anger , and [ A ] don’t fall to your fear [ D ]

now when all this steel and these stories , they drift away to rust
and all our youth and beauty , it’s been given to the dust
and your game has been decided , and you’re burning the clock down
and all our little victories and glories , have turned into parking lots
when your best hopes and desires , are scattered through the wind
and hard times come , hard times go
hard times come , hard times go
and hard times come , hard times go
hard times come , hard times go
hard times come , hard times go
yeah just to come again

bring on your wrecking ball
bring on your wrecking ball
come on and take your best shot , let me see what you’ve got
bring on your wrecking ball
bring on your wrecking ball ( bring on your wrecking ball )
bring on your wrecking ball ( bring on your wrecking ball )
take your best shot , let me see what you’ve got , bring on your wrecking ball

one , two , one two three four!

[ trumpet solo ]

whoa – ho – ho
whoa – ho – ho
whoa – ho – ho
