Nebraska (Live 1975/1985 version) - Bruce Springsteen
Recorded August 6, 1984 at Meadowlands Arena
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: KerNeL KLuTcH
Tuning: E standard, Capo 3 (all fret numbers in relation to capo)
notes: this is my first tab but I think it's right.
I know the Dsus2 is right but the rest is very difficult to hear on the recording, any
and all corrections are welcomed.
(I think the notes without parenthesis are the right notes
but the ones with them might be the correct ones)
Gtr. 1 - Nils Lofgren (Acoustic Guitar - 12 string)
(since Nils plays with a thumbpick the B and e strings
are most likely played with the index and middle fingers respectively, it sounds fine
picked though)
Tempo: Quarter Note 126
let ring throughout

I saw her s[Asus4]tandin' on her front [Dsus2]lawn just t[Asus4]wirlin' her bato[Dsus2]n
Me and h[Dsus2/G]er went for a rid[Dsus2]e sir and ten [Asus4]innocent people died[Dsus2]
From the t[Asus4]own of Lincoln Nebra[Dsus2]ska with a sawed-[Asus4]off .410 on my l[Dsus2]ap
Through to the b[Dsus2/G]adlands of Wyomi[Dsus2]ng I killed eve[Asus4]rything in my pat[Dsus2]h
[Asus4] [Dsus2]
I can't s[Asus4]ay that I'm sor[Dsus2]ry for the thi[Asus4]ngs that we do[Dsus2]ne
At least f[Dsus2/G]or a little whi[Dsus2]le sir me and h[Asus4]er we had us some fu[Dsus2]n
The jury br[Asus4]ought in a guilty ve[Dsus2]rdict and the j[Asus4]udge he sentenced me to de[Dsus2]ath
Midnight [Dsus2/G]in a prison sto[Dsus2]reroom with leather st[Asus4]raps across my ch[Dsus2]est
Sheriff w[Asus4]hen the man pulls that s[Dsus2]witch sir and s[Asus4]naps my poor neck b[Dsus2]ack
You make s[Dsus2/G]ure my pretty b[Dsus2]aby is sittin' r[Asus4]ight there on my la[Dsus2]p

They decl[Asus4]ared me unfit to li[Dsus2]ve said into that great v[Asus4]oid my soul be hu[Dsus2]rled
They wanted to k[Dsus2/G]now why I did what I [Dsus2]did
well sir I guess there's just a [Asus4]meanness in this [Dsus2]world
