Notes: These are the chords and lyrics from the Bruce Springsteen Seegar Sessions recording. Capo at the 1st fret to play along with. Feel free to modify any lyrics that don't work for you. It's folk music. Adaptation is part of the genre. 

I chose this version because the recording is perfect to play along with to get that great Americana feel. Play this with the recording on repeat until you don't have to think about chords or changes any more.
