Devils & Dust - Bruce Springsteen
Chords/Tab transcription by Rockcru
I know there are other tab versions of this, but I believe that the tab archive ought
to show how the artist plays the song. In order to gain a little more perspective, I
saw the videotape of Bruce playing this song. There is no capo on Bruce's guitar.
As much as I could see, the chord forms below match those in the video.
Drop tuning on both high and low stings.
Chord Forms:
(alt) (alt1) (alt2)
Play the alternating with in the introduction and in the verse
breaks.
and
and
I got my finger on the trigger
But I don't know who to trust
I look into your eyes
and
There's just devils and dust
and
Long, long way from home, Bobbie
Home's a long, long way from us
Feel a dirty wind blowin'
and
Devils and dust
(alt1)
I got God on my side
And I'm just trying to survive
But if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
(alt2)
Fear's a powerful thing
Can turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
and
And fill it with devils and dust
and
Well I dreamed of you last night
In a field of blood and stone
The blood began to dry
and
The smell began to rise
and
Well I dreamed of you last night, Bob
In a field of mud and bone
Your blood began to dry
and
The smell began to rise
(alt1)
We've got God on our side
We're just trying to survive
But if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
(alt2)
Fear's a powerful thing
Turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
and
Fill it with Devils and dust
It'll take your God filled soul
and
Fill it with devils and dust
(Repeat verse 1 chord sequence during harmonica solo)
and
Now every woman and every man
They want to take a righteous stand
Find the love that God wills
and
And the faith that he commands
and
I've got my finger on the trigger
Tonight faith just ain't enough
And I look inside my heart
and
There's just devils and dust
(alt1)
But I've got God on our side
And I'm just trying to survive
But if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
(alt2)
Fear's a dangerous thing
Turn your heart black you can trust
Take your God filled soul
and
Fill it with devils and dust
It'll take your God filled soul
and
Fill it with devils and dust
(Repeat verse 1 chord sequence twice during harmonica solo
to end. The video shows Bruce using the (alt) chord form as the
concluding chord).
