D Dsus4 D Em Bm C Em                   

She felt so nice, just as soft as a

spirit in the night (all night)

In the night (all night) Janey don't know 

what she do to you   

Em Bm C Em             

Like a spirit in the night (all night) all night (all night)

Stand right up and let her shoot through you


Am C Em (2)

Ooooooh Ooooooh Ooooooh Ooooooh


C Em D Em C Em D Am

Now the night was bright and the stars 

threw light on Billy and Davy dancin' 

in the moonlight

They were down near the water in a stone mud fight 

Killer Joe gone passed out on the lawn

(short stop)


C Em D Em C Em D Am

Well now Hazy Davy got really hurt,

he ran into the lake in just his socks and a shirt       

Me and Crazy Janey was makin' love in the 

dirt singin' our birthday songs


C Em D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D

Janey said it was time to go                                   

So we closed our eyes and said goodbye to 

gypsy angel row, felt so right                       

Together we moved like spirits in the night


Em Bm C Em

(all night) in the night (all night)

Baby don't know what they do to you                  

Them spirits in the night (all night) in the night (all night)

Stand right up and let it shoot through you       

Like a spirit in the night (all night) allnight (all night)

All night (all night) all the night (all night)

All night (all night) all the night (all night) all the night


Bruce Springsteen - Spirits in The Night

C Em D Em // C Em D Am7    

Crazy Janey and her mission man were back 

in the alley tradin' hands

Long came Wild Billy with his friend 

G-man all duded up for Saturday night

C Em D Em // C Em D Em7      

Billy slammed on his coaster brakes and 

said anybody would wanna go on up to 

Greasy Lake   

It's about a mile down on  the dark side of Route 88

I got a bottle of rose so let's try it    


C Em D Em C D7    

We'll pick up Hazy Davy and Killer Joe 

and I'll take you all out to where the gypsy angels go

They're built like light Oooh and they dance like


Em Bm C Em

spirits in the night (all night) in the night (all night)

Oh you don't know what they can do to you

Spirits in the night (all night), in the night (all night)

Stand right up now and let it shoot through you


C Em D Em C Em D Am        

Well now Wild young Billy was a crazy cat 

and he shook some dust out of his coonskin cap.

He said, "Trust some of this

it'll show you where you're at, 

or at least it'll help you really feel it"

         

C Em D Em C Em D Am      

By the time we made it up to Greasy Lake I

had my head out the window and Janey's      

fingers were in the cake I think I 

really dug her cause I was too loose to fake

I said, "I'm hurt" she said, "Honey let me heal it"


C Em D Dsus4

And we danced all night to a soul fairy band and

she kissed me just right like only a lonely angel can
