Bruce Springsteen - Linda Let Me Be The One: chords

G                     C                  D
Her midnight boys are outside, scraping tears
              G
up off the street
          Em                Am           D
Standing guard beneath the window, where only
        G
Linda sleeps
     Em                   C
The leader is a kid named Eddy, walkin' like an
D
angel
      G
in defeat
    Em                   Am
He trashes her old man's car,
         D
slashes Linda's name in the seat
And calls out

Chorus:
G                      D
Linda will you let me be the one
C                      D
Linda will you let me be the one
G                      D
Linda will you let me be the one
C                      D
Linda will you let me be the one

In a room full of contenders
Eddie spars
'Til he drops to his bed and surrenders
Draped in the scarves
He stole from Linda's bedroom
The night he laid at her feet
When the midnight boys were stranded
Down on Cason Street

Chorus

In the basement of St Mary's
Eddie hides from the rain
In with the stolen sisters
'Til the streets are dry again
Talkin' fast cars and spare parts
Empty homes and broken hearts
Distant worlds with strange girls
And kneeling with Linda in the dark

Chorus:
Oh, Linda, will you let me be the one?
Linda, will you let me be the one?
Linda, will you let me be the one?
Linda, will you let me be the one?

Linda, will you let me be the one, oh?
Linda, will you let me be the one, oh?
Linda, will you let me be the one, oh?
Linda, will you let me be the one, oh?
