C
You been hurt and you're all cried out you say
F C
You walk down the street pushing people outta your way
You packed your bags and all alone you wanna ride
F
You don't want nothing, don't need no one by your side
C G
You're walking tough, baby but you're walking blind
F
To the ties that bind
C | G | F
The ties that bind
C G F | F G | C
Now you can't break the ties that bind
C
Cheap romance, it's all just a crutch
F C
You don't want nothing that anybody can touch
You're so afraid of being somebody's fool
F
Not walking tough, baby not walking cool
C G
You walk cool, but darling, can you walk the line
F
And face the ties that bind
C | G | F
The ties that bind
C G F | F G | C
Now you can't break the ties that bind
G Am F G
Oh I, I'd rather feel the hurt inside, yes I would darling
Am F
Than know the emptiness your heart must hide
C G
Yes I would darling, yes I would darling,
F G
Yes I would baby
(Sax solo) | C | C | F | F | C | C | F | F |

| F | C | G | G D A A D |
D
You sit and wonder just who's gonna stop the rain
G D
Who'll ease the sadness, who's gonna quiet the pain
It's a long dark highway and a thin white line
G
Connecting baby your heart to mine
D A
We're running now but darling we will stand in time
G
To face the ties that bind
D | A | G
The ties that bind
D A G
Now you can't break the ties that bind
D A G
You can't forsake the ties that bind
A D | D G | D
Whoa, whoa, oh

C#m A E
Driving home she grabs something to eat
F#m A C#m
Turns a corner and drives down her street
F#m E
Into a row of houses she just melts away
F#m A
Like a scenery in another man's play
B
Into a house where the blinds are closed
C#m A
To keep from seeing things she don't wanna know
B
She pulls the blinds and looks out on the street
A B
Where the cool of the night takes the edge off the street
E C#m
In the Jackson Cage
G#m A
Down in the Jackson Cage
E B A
You can try with all your might
E B A
But you're reminded every night
C#m A
That you've been judged and handed life
B E | B | C#m
Down in the Jackson Cage
A E
Every day ends in wasted motion
F#m A C#m
Just crossed swords on the killing floor
F#m E
To settle back is to settle without knowing
F#m A
The hard edge that you're settling for
B
Because there's always just one more day
C#m A
And it's always gonna be that way
B
Little girl you've been down here so long
A B
I can tell by the way that you move you belong to
E C#m
The Jackson Cage
G#m A
Down in Jackson Cage
E B
And it don't matter just what you say
A E B
Are you tough enough to play the game they play
A C#m A
Or will you just do your time and fade away
B E
Down into the Jackson Cage
(Harp solo) | C#m | C#m | E | E | C#m | C#m | E B | A | A | C#m
A E
Baby there's nights when I dream of a better world
F#m A C#m
But I wake so downhearted girl
F#m
I see you feeling so tired and confused
E F#m A
I wonder what it's worth to me or you
B
Just waiting to see some sun
C#m A
Never knowing if that day will ever come
B
Left alone standing out on the street
A B
Till you become the hand that turns the key down in
E C#m
Jackson Cage
G#m A
Down in Jackson Cage
E B
Well darling can you understand
A E B
The way that they will turn a man
A C#m A
Into a stranger to waste away
B A E
Down in the Jackson Cage

My feets were flying down the street just the other night

When a Hong Kong special pulled up at the light

What was inside, man, was just c'est magnifique

I wanted to hold the bumper and let her drag me down the street

Ooh, ooh, I gotta crush on you

She make Sheena of the Jungle look meek and mild

A D G
But a time comes when two people should think of these things
A
Having a home and a family
A7 D
Facing up to their responsibilities
G6
They say that in the end true love prevails
A D G
But in the end true love can't be no fairytale
A
To say I'll make your dreams come true would be wrong
A7 D
But maybe darling, I could help them along
G6
Little girl I wanna marry you
A D
Oh yeah, little girl I wanna marry you
G
Yes I do
A D
Little girl, I wanna marry you
G A
My daddy said right before he died
F#m7 Bm7
That true, true love was just a lie
G A
He went to his grave a broken heart
G A
An unfulfilled live, makes a man hard
Oh, darling,
D G6
There's something happy and there's something sad
A D G
'Bout wanting somebody, oh so bad
A
I wear my love darling without shame
A7 D
I'd be proud if you would wear my name

THE RIVER from The River
INTRO: Em (D/F#) G D C (C/B) Am G C
Em D/F# G
I come from down in the valley
D C
Where mister, when you're young
Em D/F# G C G
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
C
Me and Mary we met in high school
G D/F# Em
When she was just seventeen
Am G C
We'd drive out of this valley down to where the fields were green
Em C
We'd go down to the river
D G D/F#
And into the river we'd dive
Em C D C
Oh down to the river we'd ride
Em D/F# G
Then I got Mary pregnant
D C
And man, that was all she wrote
Em D/F# G C G
And for my 19th birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
C
We went down to the courthouse
G D/F# Em
And the judge put it all to rest
Am
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle
G C
No flowers, no wedding dress
Em C
That night we went down to the river
D G
And into the river we'd dive
D/F# Em C D C
Oh down to the river we did ride
HARMONICA: Em (D/F#) G D C
Em (D/F#) G C G
C G (D/F#) Em
Am G C
Em D/F# G D C
I got a job working con-struction for the Johnstown Company
Em D/F# G C G
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
C
Now all them things that seemed so important
G D/F# Em
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Am
Now I just act like I don't remember
G C
Mary acts like she don't care
Em D/F# G
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
D C
Her body tanned and wet down at the reservoir
Em D/F# G
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
C G
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
C
Now those memories come back to haunt me
G D/F# Em
They haunt me like a curse
Am
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
G C
Or is it something worse
Em C
That sends me down to the river
D G
Though I know the river is dry
D/F# Em C D C
That sends me down to the river toni-ght
Em C D G
Down to the river my baby and I
D/F# Em C D C
Oh down to the river we ri-de

Praying that tomorrow, everything will be allright

But tomorrow's fall in number in number one by one

You wake up and you're dying you don't even know what from

Well they shot you point blank you been shot in the back
A F#m F#7 Bm
Baby point blank you been fooled this time, little girl that's a fact

Right between the eyes baby, point blank
F#m F#7 Bm | G
Right between the pretty lies that they tell
A | A | F#m | F#7
Little girl you fell
Bm
You grew up where young girls they grow up fast
G
You took what you were handed and left behind what was asked
A
But what they asked baby wasn't right
F#m F#7
You didn't have to live that live
Bm
I was gonna be your Romeo you were gonna be my Juliet
G
These days you don't wait for Romeo's, you wait on that welfare check
A F#m
And on all the pretty things that you can't ever have and on all the promises

Baby you and me
A F#m F#7
Back home in those old clubs the way we used to be
Bm
We were standing at the bar it was hard to hear
G
The band was playing loud and you were shouting something in my ear
A
You pulled my jacket off and as the drummer counted four
F#m F#7
You grabbed my hand and pulled me out on the floor
Bm
You just stood there and held me, then you started dancing slow
G
And as I pulled you tighter I swore I'd never let you go
A
Well I saw you last night down on the avenue
F#m F#7
Your face was in the shadows but I knew that it was you
Bm
You were standing in the doorway out of the rain
G
You didn't answer when I called out your name
A
You just turned and then you looked away
F#m F#7
Like just another stranger waiting to get blown away
Bm G
Point blank, right between the eyes
A F#m F#7
Point blank, right between the pretty lies you fell
Bm G
Point blank, shot straight through the heart
A F#m F#7
Yea point blank, you've been twisted up till you've become just another part of it
Bm G
Point blank, you're walking in the sights
A F#m F#7
Point blank, living one false move, just one false move away
Bm G
Point blank, they caught you in their sights
A F#m F#7
Point blank, did you forget how to love, girl did you forget how to fight
Bm G
Point blank, they must have shot you in the head

In a little house out on the edge of town

We got married, and swore we'd never part
C G
Then little by little we drifted from each other's heart
G C G
First I thought it was just restlessness
C G
That would fade as time went by and our love grew deep
C G
In the end it was something more I guess
C G
That tore us apart and made us weep

And I'm driving a stolen car

Down on Eldridge Avenue

Each night I wait to get caught
G
But I never do

She asked if I remembered the letters I wrote
C G
When our love was young and bold

She said last night she read those letters

And they made her feel one hundred years old

And I'm driving a stolen car

The Price You Pay - Bruce Springsteen
| G | C G | C G D | Bm | G | C G | C G D | G |
C
You make up your mind, you choose the chance you take
G D
You ride to where the highway ends and the desert breaks
G C
Out on to an open road you ride until the day
G D C
You learn to sleep at nigth with the price you pay
G C
Now with their hands held high, they reached out for the open skies
G D
And in one last breath they built the roads they'd ride to their death
G C
Driving on through the night, unable to break away
G D C
From the restless pull of the price you pay
G C
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
G D C
Now you can't walk away from the price you pay
G C
Now they'd come so far and they'd waited so long
G D
Just to end up caught in a dream where everything goes wrong
G C
Where the dark of night holds back the light of day
G D C
And you've gotta stand and fight for the price you pay
G C
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
G D C
Now you can't walk away from the price you pay

Little girl down on the strand with that pretty little baby in your hands
G D
Do you remember the story of the promised land
G C
How he crossed the desert sands and could not enter the chosen land
G D C
On the banks of the river he stayed to face the price you pay
G C
So let the game start, you better run you little wild heart
G D
You can run through all the nights and all the days
G C
But just across the county line, a stranger passing through put up a sign

That counts the man fallen away to the price you pay, and girl before the end of the day
