Shut Out The Light - Bruce Springsteen
| E | E
A E
The runway rushed up at him, as he felt the wheels touch down
A
He stood out on the blacktop, and took a taxi into town
E A E
He got out down on Main Street, and went into a local bar
B A
Bought a drink and found a seat in a corner in the dark
E A E
She called up her mama to make sure the kids were outa' the house
She checked herself out in the dining room mirror
B
And undid an extra button on her blouse
E A E
He felt her lyin' next to him and the clock said 4 am
B E
He was starin' at the ceilin' he couldn't move his hands
A E A E
Oh mama, mama, mama come quick, I've got the shakes and I'm gonna be sick
A E
Trow your arms around me in the cold dark night
B E
Hey now mama don't shut out the light
A E
Don't you shut out the light, don't shut out the light
A B E
Don't you shut out the light, don't shut out the light
A E
Well on his porch they stretched a banner, that said Johnny Welcome Home
B
Bobby pulled his Ford outa' the garage and they polished up the chrome
E A E
His mama said Johnny oh Johnny, I'm so glad to have you back with me
B E
His pa said he was sure they'd give him his job back down at the factory
A E A E
Oh mama, mama, mama come quick, I've got the shakes and I'm gonna be sick
A E
Trow your arms around me in the cold dark night
B E
Hey now mama don't shut out the light
A E
Don't you shut out the light, don't shut out the light
A B E
Don't you shut out the light, don't shut out the light
A E
Well deep in a dark forest, a forest filled with rain
B
Beyond a stretch of Maryland pines there's a river without a name
E A E
In the cold black water, where Johnson Linnier stands
B E
He stares across the lights of the city and dreams of where he's been
A E A E
Oh mama, mama, mama come quick, I've got the shakes and I'm gonna be sick
A E
Trow your arms around me in the cold dark night
B E
Hey now mama don't shut out the light
A E
Don't you shut out the light, don't shut out the light
A E
Don't you shut out the light, don't shut out the light
A B E
Don't you shut out the light, don't shut out the light
