Here's another one that I posted to r.m.m.g.t. last night for the archives:
Because the Night - Words and Music by Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith
I'm lifting this straight out of Springsteen Complete...sounds much
better on piano/keyboard than solo guitar IMO, but here it is
anyway...all chords are either open (D,G,A,C) or barres near the nut
(,).
Intro: , , , , , ,
Verse:
Take me now, baby, here as I am.
Pull me close try and understand.
Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe.
Love is a banquet on which we feed.
Come on now, try and understand
the way I feel when I'm in your hand.
Take my hand; come under cover.
They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now.
Chorus:
Because the night belongs to lovers.
Because the night belongs to lust.
Because the night belongs to lovers.
Because the night belongs to us.
Second verse:
Have I doubt when I'm alone?
Love is a ring on the telephone.
Love is an angel disguised as lust,
here in our bed until the morning comes.
Come on now, try and understand
the way I feel under your command.
Take my hand as the sun descends.
They can't touch you now, can't touch you now, can't touch you now.
Repeat chorus
Ending:
With love we sleep; with doubt the viscious circle turn and turns.
Without you I cannot live, forgive the yearning, burning
I believe in time, too real to feel,
so touch me now, touch me now, touch me now.
Repeat chorus and fade.
