| As requested, here is the crd for because the night (the real version, |
| not the 10,000 maniacs one) which hopefully will wind up at nevada under |
| both bruce springsteen and patti smith. |
| 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 |
| (F#,Bm). |
| Intro: Bm, G, A, Bm, G, A, Bm |
| Bm | G | A | Bm |
| Take me | now, baby, | here as I | am. |
| G | A | Bm |
| Pull me | close | try and understand. |
| G | A | Bm |
| Desire | is | hunger, is the fire I breathe. |
| G | A | Bm |
| Love is a | banquet | on which we feed. |
| G | A | D | A |
| Come on | now, try and | understand |
| Bm | G | A | |
| the | way I | feel when I’m in your | hand. |
| D | G | A |
| Take my | hand; come under | cover. |
| C | Bm | F# | |
| They | can’t hurt you now, | can’t | hurt you now, can’t hurt you now. |
| Bm | G | A |
| Because | the night belongs | to lovers. |
| Bm | G | A | Bm |
| Because | the night belongs | to | lust. |
| G | A | |
| Because | the night belongs | to lovers. |
| Bm | G | A | Bm |
| 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 |
| D | A | D | A | Bm | A | |
| With | love | we sleep; | with | doubt the | viscious | circle turn and turns. |
| D | A | Bm | A | D | A |
| Without | you I | cannot | live, | forgive the yearning, burning |
| G | D | G | |
| I | believe | in | time, too real to feel, |
| Bm | D | G | F# | |
| so | touch | me now, | touch me now, | touch me now. |
| Repeat chorus and fade. |
