Intro [chords implied by horns]:

        Am           Em           Dm    G      C   [guitar and clavinet enter]
        /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /

Verse 1:

          C
        Sparks fly on E Street when the boy prophets walk it handsome and hot
        All the little girls' souls grow weak when the manchild gives them a
            double shot
             F7
        The schoolboy bops pull out all the stops on a Friday night
             C
        The teenage tramps in skin-tight pants do the E Street dance and
            everything's all right
              G7
        Them kids down there are either dancin' or hooked up in a scuffle
                    Am                          F7
        Dressed in snakeskin suits backed with Detroit muscle
                Ab9       G9        C
        They're doin' the E Street Shuffle

Verse 2:

        Now those E Street brats in twilight dual flashlight phantoms in
            full star stream
        Down fire trails on silver nights with blonde girls playing sweet
            sixteen
        The newsboys say the heat's been bad since Power 13 gave a trooper
            all he had in a summer scuffle
        And Power's girl, Little Angel, been on the corner keepin' those
            crazy boys out of trouble
        Little Angel steps the shuffle like she ain't got no brains
        She's deaf in combat down on Lover's Lane
        She drives all them local boys insane
        Yes, she does

Bridge:

                            Am G  Am     G  Am   Dm      Em           Am
        Little Angel says, "Oh oh oh (oh oh oh),    everybody form a line
        Am G  Am     G  Am   Dm      Em          Am
        Oh oh oh (oh oh oh),    everybody form a line"
        E7#9      Dm    G
        / /  / /  /     /

Verse 3:

        Well the sparks fly on E Street when the boy prophets walk it handsome
            and hot
        All them little girls' souls grow weak when the manchild gives them a
            double shot
        Little Angel hangs out at Easy Joe's, it's a club where all the riot
            squad goes when they're cashin' in for a cheap hustle
        But them boys are still on the corner loose and doin' that lazy
            E Street Shuffle
        As them sweet summer nights turn into summer dreams Little Angel
            picks up Power and he slips on his jeans
        And they move on out down to the scene
        All the kids are there
