More songs by Bruce Springsteen

This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

  A                         D
  I had a friend was a big baseball player
A               D
  Back in high school
A                      D
  He could throw that speedball by you
A                       D
  Make you look like a fool boy
E
  Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
                D
  I was walking in, he was walking out
          E
  We went back inside, sat down, had a few drinks
      D                    E
  But all he kept talking about was

                A             D
      Glory days, well they'll pass you by
                A                  D
      Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye
                A        E
      Glory days, glory days

A      D

                A                  D
  Well there's a girl that lives up the block
           A                                   D
  Back in school she could turn all the boys' heads
        A                         D
  Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by and have a few drinks
A                           D
  After she put her kids to bed
            E
  Her and her husband Bobby well they split up
            D
  I guess it's two years gone by now
          E
  We just sit around talking about the old times she says
                      D                           E
  When she feels like crying she starts laughing thinking 'bout

                A             D
      Glory days, well they'll pass you by
                A                  D
      Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye
                A        E
      Glory days, glory days

A      D      E      E      D      E

A                            D
  Think I'm going down to the well tonight
               A                     D
  And I'm gonna drink till I get my fill
        A                                D
  And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
A                 D
  But I probably will
           E
  Yeah just sitting back trying to recapture
    D
  A little of the glory yeah
        E
  Well time slips away and leaves you with nothing mister
     D                E
  But boring stories of

                A             D
      Glory days, well they'll pass you by
                A                  D
      Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye
                A        E
      Glory days, glory days
