Incident on 57th Street Bruce Springsteen
INTRO: Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb F Eb
[Bb] [Eb] [Bb] [Eb]
[Bb]Spanish Johnny [Eb]drove in from the [F]underworld last night
With bruised [Bb]arms and broken rhythm in a [Eb]beat-up old Buick
But [Bb]dressed just like [F]dynamite
He tried [Bb]sellin' his heart to the [Eb]hard girls over on [F]Easy Street
But they sighed [Bb]Johnny it falls apart so [Eb]easy and you know [Bb]hearts these days are [F]cheap
And the [Eb]pimps swung their axes and said Johnny you're a [Bb]cheater
Well the [Eb]pimps swung their axes and said Johnny you're a [Bb]liar
And from [Eb]out of the shadows came a young girl's voice said Johnny don't [Bb]cry
[Eb]Puerto [Eb/D]Rican [Cm]Jane [Eb/D]
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/D Bb (Octaves: Eb D C Bb)
oh won't you tell me what's your name
I want to [Eb]drive you [Eb/D]down to the [Cm]other side of [Eb/D]town
Where [Eb]paradise ain't so [Eb/D]crowded there'll be
[Cm]action goin' [Eb/D]down on Shanty [Bb]Lane tonight
All them [F]golden-heeled fairies in a [Eb]real bitch fight
Pull thirty eights and [Bb]kiss the girls good [F]night
CHORUS 1:
Oh [Bb]good night, it's [Eb]alright [F]Jane
Now let them [Bb]black boys [Eb]in to light the [F]soul flame
We may [Bb]find it out on the [Eb]street tonight [F]baby
Or [Bb]we may walk un[Eb]til the daylight [F]maybe
Well like a [Bb]cool Romeo he [Eb]made his moves, oh she [F]looked so fine
Like a [Bb]late Juliet she knew he'd [Eb]never be true but then [Bb]she didn't really mind [F]
Upstairs a [Bb]band was playin' the [Eb]singer was singin' something about [F]goin' home
She whispered Spanish [Bb]Johnny, you can leave me to[Eb]night but just don't [Bb]leave me alone[F]

And Johnny cried [Eb]Puerto [Eb/D]Rican [Cm]Jane[Eb/D]
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/D Bb (Octaves: Eb D C Bb)
Word is down the cops have found the vein
Oh them [Eb]barefoot [Eb/D]boys left their [Cm]homes for the [Eb/D]woods
Them little [Eb]barefoot street [Eb/D]boys they say [Cm]homes ain't no [Eb/D]good
They left the [Bb]corners[F] threw away all their [Eb]switchblade knives
And [Bb]kissed each other good[F]bye
Johnny was [Bb]sittin' on the fire escape [Eb]watchin' the kids playin' down the [F]street
He called down [Bb]Hey little heroes, summer's [Eb]long
But I guess it ain't very sweet around [F]here anymore
Janey [Bb]sleeps in sheets damp with [Eb]sweat
Johnny sits up alone and [F]watches her dream on, dream on
And the [Bb]sister prays for lost souls
Then [Eb]breaks down in the chapel [F]after everyone's gone
[Bb]Jane moves over to share her pillow
But [Eb]opens her eyes to see Johnny up and [F]putting his clothes on
She says those ro[Eb]mantic young boys
All they [Bb]ever want to do is fight
Those ro[Eb]mantic young boys they're callin' through the window
Hey Spanish Johnny, you want to [Bb]make a little easy money to[F]night?
And Johnny whispered
CHORUS 2:
[Bb]Good night, it's [Eb]all tight [F]Jane
I'll [Bb]meet you tomorrow [Eb]night on Lover's [F]Lane
We may [Bb]find it out on the [Eb]street tonight [F]baby
Or [Bb]we may walk un[Eb]til the daylight [F]maybe
CHORUS 3:
Oh [Bb]Good night, it's [Eb]all right [F]Jane
I'm gonna [Bb]meet you tomorrow [Eb]night on Lover's [F]Lane
Oh we can [Bb]find it out on the [Eb]street tonight [F]baby
Or [Bb]we may walk un[Eb]til the daylight [F]maybe
CHORUS 4:
Ah [Bb]Good night, it's [Eb]all right [F]Jane
I'll [Bb]meet you tomorrow [Eb]night on Lover's [F]Lane
Now we may [Bb]find it out on...on the [Eb]street tonight [F]baby
Or we may [Bb]have to walk until the [Eb]morning light [F]ahhh
