Adam Raised A Cain Chords
Adam Raised A Cain - Bruce Springsteen
Em Am Em Am Em Am Am Em
Em Am Em Am Em Am Am Em
In the summer that I was baptized my father held me to his side
Am Em Am Em Am Am Em
As they put me to the water he said how on that day I cried
Am C
We were prisoners of love a love in chains
Am C
He was standin' in the door I was standin' in the rain
Am B7
With the same hot blood burning in our veins

Em Am Em Am
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain
Em Am Em Am
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain
All of the old faces ask you why you're back
They fit you with position and the keys to your daddy's Cadillac
In the darkness of your room your mother calls you by your true name
You remember the faces the places the names
You know it's never over it's relentless as the rain
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain,
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain
Em Am Em Am Em Am Am Em
Em
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh
In the Bible Cain slew Abel and East of Eden he was cast
You're born into this life paying for the sins of somebody else's past
Daddy worked his whole life for nothing but the pain
Now he walks these empty rooms looking for something to blame
You inherit the sins you inherit the flames
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain,
Adam raised a Cain, Adam raised a Cain
Am C
Lost but not forgotten from the dark heart of a dream
Em Am
Adam raised a Cain (to fade out)
