This is my favorite Springsteen song. The guitar is palm-muted and finger picked with
hand near the bridge of the guitar and quietly with occasional notes ringing. This tab is

Play [Intro] Twice


[Verse 1]

E
Hey little girl, is you daddy home
A
Did he go and leave you all alone
C#m A B E
I’ve got a bad desire, Oh I’m on fire


[Verse 2]

E
Tell me now baby is he good to you
A
And can he do to you the things that I do
C#m A B E
I can take you higher Oh, I’m on fire

Play Intro Twice


[Verse 3] (play same picking pattern for this verse)

A (2 bars)
Sometimes it’s like someone took a knife baby edgy and dull
E (2 bars) C#m (four bars)
And put a six knife valley through the middle of my skull


[Verse 4]

E
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
A
And a freight train running through the middle of my head, and you
C#m A B Esus2
You cool my desire, Oh, I’m on fire

A B E (Last line of verse)
Oh, I’m on fire
A B E
Oh, I’m on fire

A B E

Streets of Fire - Bruce Springsteen

| A F#m | A F#m
A F#m A F#m
When the nigth's quiet and you don't care anymore,
A F#m A F#m
And your eyes are tired and there's someone at your door
D Bm7 D Bm7 A F#m | A F#m |
And you realize you wanna let go
E4 E E4 E
And the weak lies and the cold walls you embrace
D Bm7 D Bm7
Eat at your insides and leave you face to face with
A F#m A F#m A F#m A F#m
Streets of fire, streets of fire, streets of fire, streets of fire

A F#m A F#m
I'm wandering, a loser down these tracks
A F#m A F#m
I'm dying, but girl I can't go back
D Bm7 D Bm7 A F#m | A F#m |
'Cause in the darkness I heard somebody call my name
E4 E E4 E
And when you realize how they tricked you this time
D Bm7 D Bm7
And it's all lies but I'm strung out on the wire
A F#m A F#m A F#m A F#m
In these streets of fire, streets of fire, streets of fire, streets of fire
