Air conditioning!
_ _ _ [E] Well it's about time.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Anyway let me introduce another [Ab] musician.
Someone I always like to call the man of the house.
Someone I've always wanted to work [Db] with for a very long time.
[G] He's actually been on the road with us now since September of [Eb] 1983.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ So he has been with us for a long time.
_ _ I think just about_ _ _ _ _ _
No no no no no.
_ [Ab] This is the last gig so we're going to take a two week [C] break.
Because we need [N] a break. _ _ _ _
On the bass guitar, Mr.
T-Bone Moe. _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Listen. _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ Some people say far [C] away from your door
There's [Dm] a chance of it opening up
_ _ [F] They hear a voice in the [G] hall outside
And hope that it just passes [C] by
Some _ people live with a fear of the touch
[Dm] The anger of having been [D] a fool
_ _ [F] They will not listen [G] to anyone
So nobody tells them [C] a lie
_ [Gm] I know you're only [C] protecting yourself
[Bb] I know you're thinking [F] of somebody else
[G] Someone who hurt you [C] but I'm not [G] above
Making up for the love [C] you've [D] been denying
You could ever feel _ _
_ [F] I'm not above [G] doing anything
To restore your faith if [C] I can _
_ Some people see through the eyes of the old
[Dm] Before they ever get a look at the young
I'm _ [F] _ only willing [G] to hear you cry
Because I am an [C] innocent [F] man
_ [Am] Yeah
_ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
_ [G] _ _ Some [C] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] people say they will never believe
Another [Dm] promise they hear in [D] the dark
_ _ [F] Because they only [G] remember too well
They heard somebody tell them [C] before
_ Some _ people sleep all alone every night
Instead [Dm] of taking a lover to bed
_ _ [F] Some people find that [G] it's easier to hate
Than to hate [C] anymore
All [Gm] _ _ _
[G] I hear was
_ [Bb] I know you're gonna [F] keep turning away
[G] But I've been there and [C] if I can survive
I can keep you alive
I'm [D] not above going through it again
_ [F] I'm not above [G] being cool for a while
If you're cruel to me I [C] understand _
_ Some people run from a possible fight
Some [Dm] people figure they can never win _
_ _ [F] _ Although this is [G] a fight I can live
The issue is that innocent [C] men
_ _ _ [Am] Yeah
[G] _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] So [Bb] I'll _
[F] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [C] _ _
end
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [Gm] You know you only [C] hurt yourself out of spite
[Bb] I guess you'd rather be [F] a martyr tonight
[G] That's _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ your [C] decision but I will not be low
Anybody I know
Has [Dm] a chance of resurrecting love
_ _ [F] I'm not above going [G] back to the start
To find out where the heartache [C] began
_ _ Some people hope for a miracle cure
Some [Dm] people just accept the world as it is
_ [F] I'm not willing to [G] lay down and die
Because I am an innocent [C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _
man
I'm not above going through it [Dm] again
[C] I'm not _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ _ above being [C] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _
_ cool _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ for _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [A] _ [G] a while
_ If _ _ you're cruel to me I understand
Some people run from a possible fight
Some people figure they can never win
Although _ [Eb] _
this [E] is a fight I can live
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _
[E] I'm not above going back to the start
I get it all [C] in a row but _ now I'm 45 and I like to go for the low notes
[G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ But _ _ _ _ _ on all high [D] notes _
Someone who has worked with [B] a number of [G] fine musicians John Mellencamp

_ Bruce Springsteen _ _ _ _
He plays harmonica, guitar, bass guitar, _ saxophones, percussion
_ [Bb] And sings her ass off, that's Crystal [N] Taliaferro
