                         "The E Street Shuffle"
                          (Bruce Springsteen)

Intro [chords implied by horns]:

	Am           Em           Dm    G      C   [guitar and clavinet enter]
	/  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /

Verse 1:

	  C
	Sparks fly on E Street when the boy prophets walk it handsome and hot
	All the little girls' souls grow weak when the manchild gives them a
	    double shot
	     F7
	The schoolboy bops pull out all the stops on a Friday night
	     C
	The teenage tramps in skin-tight pants do the E Street dance and
	    everything's all right
	      G7
	Them kids down there are either dancin' or hooked up in a scuffle
	            Am                          F7
	Dressed in snakeskin suits backed with Detroit muscle
	        Ab9       G9        C
	They're doin' the E Street Shuffle

Verse 2:

	Now those E Street brats in twilight dual flashlight phantoms in
	    full star stream
	Down fire trails on silver nights with blonde girls playing sweet
	    sixteen
	The newsboys say the heat's been bad since Power 13 gave a trooper
	    all he had in a summer scuffle
	And Power's girl, Little Angel, been on the corner keepin' those
	    crazy boys out of trouble
	Little Angel steps the shuffle like she ain't got no brains
	She's deaf in combat down on Lover's Lane
	She drives all them local boys insane
	Yes, she does

Bridge:

	                    Am G  Am     G  Am   Dm      Em           Am
	Little Angel says, "Oh oh oh (oh oh oh),    everybody form a line
	Am G  Am     G  Am   Dm      Em          Am
	Oh oh oh (oh oh oh),    everybody form a line"
	E7#9      Dm    G
	/ /  / /  /     /

Verse 3:

	Well the sparks fly on E Street when the boy prophets walk it handsome
	    and hot
	All them little girls' souls grow weak when the manchild gives them a
	    double shot
	Little Angel hangs out at Easy Joe's, it's a club where all the riot
	    squad goes when they're cashin' in for a cheap hustle
	But them boys are still on the corner loose and doin' that lazy
	    E Street Shuffle
	As them sweet summer nights turn into summer dreams Little Angel
	    picks up Power and he slips on his jeans
	And they move on out down to the scene
	All the kids are there
