Chords for Bruce Springsteen - Child Bride

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Friday [G] night's pay night, _
[A] _ guys fresh [D] out of work _ _
_ Talking bout [G] the weekend, _ _
[A] _ trying to scrub [D] off the dirt _ _
Some heading on [G] to their families, _ _
[A] some wearing trouble on [D] their shirts
Some driving down to Stouffville, _ _
[A] _ just looking [D] to get hurt _ _
_ I work [G] for the county, _ [A] _
out on 95
_ [D] _ _ _
_ Just [G] holding that red flag, _ _ [A] watching the traffic pass me [D] by _
_ All day [G] I keep a picture _ [A] of my baby in [D] my head _ _
At night I [G] dream of weather, _ _
[A] laying in my [D] bunkhouse bed _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ Seen her [G] at the canteen, _
[A] _ out at the Legion [D] Hall _ _
She come in with [G] her brothers, _
[A] standing back up [D] against the wall _ _
Me and her we [G] go walking, _ _
[A] down by the Linden [D] tracks
Well _ one day I look [G] straight at her, _
[A] _ _ and she [D] looks straight back _
[G] _ _ Grey [D] clouds stretch across [G] _ _ the [D] white moon
_ _ [G] _
Sat in the backyard in my [D] old car, we'd hum out a tune _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Well [G] I saved my money, _ _
[A] and I put it all [D] away
I _ _ went to see her daddy, [G] _ _
[A] _ we didn't have [D] much to say _ _
_ _ [G] I said, now son, _
[A] can't you see she's just [D] a little girl
Who _ [G] don't know nothing _ _ _
[A] _ about the meanness [D] in this world _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] Took [G] off down to Florida, _ _
[A] yeah we got along [D] alright _ _ _
One day her [G] brothers came and got her, [A] and they took me in black [D] and white _ _
_ Prosecutor [G] kept his promise, _ _ _
[A] that he'd meet on that [D] day _ _
Well she was [G] sad, and the judge was mad, _
[A] they put me straight [D] away
_ [G] _
Well they said she was too [D] young, [A] _
[G] she was no younger than I've [D] been _ _
And she put her arms around me in the nightclub
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well sometimes [G] I dream of getting out of here, [A] and down towards the [D] Linden tracks _ _ _
I swore I'd [G] come and get her, _ but I know I ain't never going [D] back _ _
_ There's nights I can't sleep, [A] no matter how hard I [D] try _ _
So I wonder [G] why I watch the moonlight, [A] fall on the far [D] hillside _ _
I imagine I put on [G] my jacket, _ [A] go down to this little [D] roadside bar
A _ _ stranger [G] sitting around the dance floor, _ [A] doing [D] Mexican guitar _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
