Subject: crd: Cross My Heart by Bruce Springsteen


Cross My Heart
by Bruce Springsteen

>From the Album "Human Touch"

Chords:   E    A    B

E-------0-------0-------2----
B-------0-------2-------4----
G-------1-------2-------4----
D-------2-------2-------4----
A-------2-------0-------2----
E-------0-------X-------X----

I find that using the B chord above is better than the full barre
 chord in the seventh fret.  It gives the song a chunkier sound,
 but of course, do what feels and sounds best to you.



E
First time I crossed my heart I was beggin' baby please

At your bedside Down on my knees
         A
When I crossed my heart
         E
When I crossed my heart
    B                                E
I crossed my heart Pretty baby over you


E
Second time I crossed my heart rain came in from the south

I was lyin' there with somethin' sweet and salty in my mouth
         A
When I crossed my heart
         E
When I crossed my heart
    B                                   E
I crossed my heart pretty darlin' over you

                        A
Well you may think the world is black and white
               E
And you're dirty or you're clean
             A
You better watch out you don't slip
                B
Through those spaces in between

           E
Where the night gets sticky and the sky turns black

I grabbed you baby and you grabbed me back
         A
And we crossed our hearts
          E
We crossed our hearts
    B                  E
Yeah I crossed my heart ..........



Repeat chords twice


             A
Well little boys little girls
                       E
Hell they know their wrongs from their rights
               A
And once you cross your heart
            B
You ain't never supposed to lie

      E
Well life ain't nothing but a cold hard ride

I ain't leavin' 'till I'm satisfied
    A
I cross my heart
         E
Yeah I cross my heart
    B                                  E
Well I cross m y heart pretty darlin' over you


Repeat chords a couple of time.  ooooooo, and fade
