                         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 standin' on her front lawn just twirlin' her baton
        Dsus2/G          Dsus2         Asus4               Dsus2
Me and her went for a ride sir and ten innocent people died

          Asus4               Dsus2            Asus4           Dsus2
From the town of Lincoln Nebraska with a sawed-off .410 on my lap
                Dsus2/G         Dsus2          Asus4            Dsus2
Through to the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path

Asus4  Dsus2

         Asus4          Dsus2         Asus4         Dsus2
I can't say that I'm sorry for the things that we done
          Dsus2/G        Dsus2          Asus4               Dsus2
At least for a little while sir me and her we had us some fun

           Asus4               Dsus2          Asus4                     Dsus2
The jury brought in a guilty verdict and the judge he sentenced me to death
         Dsus2/G        Dsus2                 Asus4            Dsus2
Midnight in a prison storeroom with leather straps across my chest

         Asus4                   Dsus2          Asus4              Dsus2
Sheriff when the man pulls that switch sir and snaps my poor neck back
          Dsus2/G        Dsus2           Asus4              Dsus2
You make sure my pretty baby is sittin' right there on my lap

         Asus4              Dsus2                    Asus4            Dsus2
They declared me unfit to live said into that great void my soul be hurled
                Dsus2/G              Dsus2
They wanted to know why I did what I did
                                Asus4            Dsus2
well sir I guess there's just a meanness in this world
