Bruce Springsteen - In Freehold Chords

C
I was born right here on Randolph street in Freehold

                                        G
here right behind that big red maple in Freehold

          F
well I went to school right here

        C                          G
got laid and had my first beer, in Freehold



           C
Well my folks all lived and worked right here in Freehold

                                                                  G
I remember running up the street past the convent & the church in Freehold

             F
chased my daddy down in these bars

                    C                        G
first fell in love with this guitar, here in Freehold



           C
I had my first kiss at the YMCA canteen on a Friday night

                                F
Maria Espinosa baby, where are you tonight


you were 13 but way ahead of your time

                            C                    F            G
I walked home with a limp but I felt just fine, that night in Freehold



            C
Well the girls at Freehold Regional yeah, they all looked pretty fine

                                        F
had my heart broke at least a half a dozen times

                                                                G
I wonder if they miss me, do they still get the itch

                        C                                           F     G
would they had dumped me if they knew I'd strike it rich, straight out of Freehold



C
Well, a lot of folks gave us kids a hand in Freehold

                                           G
Man, we started up our rock n roll band in Freehold

           F
well we learned really quick how to rock it

                                                  C               F                G
I'll never forget the feeling of that first 5 bucks in my pocket, that I earned in Freehold



        C
Well I got outta here hard and fast in Freehold

                                              G
everybody wanted to kick my ass back there in Freehold

                   F
well if you were different black or brown

           C                    F           G
it was a pretty redneck town, back there in Freehold



           C
Well now something broke my Daddy's back in Freehold

                                                        G
he left and for 30 years he'd never come back

                                F
except once he drove from California in just three days

             C                    F
called my relatives some dirty names

                      G
drove straight out of Freehold

          F
Now he's buried by the highway, buried in the dirt

                                                  G
his ghost just flippin' the bird, to everybody in Freehold



            C
Well, my sister got pregnant at 17 in Freehold

                                                 G
Back then people they could be pretty mean

                  F
Now honey you had a rough road to go

            C                           F
now you ain't made of nothin' but soul

                                                        G
I love you more than you'll ever know, we both survived Freehold



     C
Well my buddy Mike he's the Mayor now in Freehold

                                          G
I remember when we had a lot more hair in Freehold

          F
I left and swore I'd never walk these streets again, Jack

                                C               F  G
now all I can say is "Holy shit I'm back", back in Freehold



 C
Well I read something in the paper a couple weeks ago 


that seemed pretty funny


The town council was debating about putting up a statue,

                                                                        G
a statue of me in my home town, but it cost too much money

        F
well I'd like to thank the Town Council, my friends,


for saving me from humiliation

                           C                       F           G
by demonstrating the good hard common sense that we learned in Freehold



C
Well this summer everything was green

                                                             G
rode with my kids on the fire engines through the streets of Freehold

          F
I brought them to where dad was born and raised.

    C              F                   G
and first felt the sun on his face, in Freehold
