Intro: G
(Play around with your pinky on the 4th fret
on the G and D strings)
D
To this day when I hear that song,
I see you standin’ there on that lawn
G Bm Asus2
Discount shades, store bought tan,
flip-flops and cut-off jeans
D
Somewhere between that setting sun,
I’m On Fire and Born To Run
G Bm Asus2
You looked at me and I was done
but we were just getting started
D
I was singing to you, you were singing to me
D
I was so alive, never been more free
G Bm Asus2
Fired up my daddy’s lighter and we sang ohhhh
D
Stayed there till they forced us out
D
We took the long way to your house
G
And I can still hear the sound
Bm Asus2
Of you saying don’t Go
D Asus2
When I think about you, I think about 17
Bm
I think about my old Jeep
G
I think about the stars in the sky
Bm Asus2
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
D G D Em A
Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night
G
Springsteen
D
If I bumped into you by happenstance
D
You probably wouldn’t even know who I am
G Bm Asus2
But if I whispered your name,
I bet there’d still be a spark
D
From back when I was gasoline
and this old tattoo had brand new ink
G Bm
And we didn’t care what your mom would think
’bout your name on my
Asus2
arm
D
Baby is it spring or is it summer
D
The guitar sound or the beat of that drummer
G Bm Asus2
You hear sometimes late at night on your radio
D
Even though you’re a million miles away
D
When you hear Born In The USA
G Bm Asus2
You relive those glory days from so long ago
D Asus2
When you think about me, I think about 17
Bm
I think about my old Jeep
G
I think about the stars in the sky
Bm Asus2
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
D G D Em A
Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night
G G
Springsteen, Springsteen
D G Bm A }x2
D Asus2
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
Bm G D Em A
Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night
G G
Springsteen, Springsteen
G
Oh Springsteen”
