------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Intro q e q e e e q e q e e e q e q e e e q e q e e e e|--------0-----------|--------0-----------|--------0-----------|--------0-----------| B|-----------3-----3--|-----------3-----3--|-----------3-----3--|-----------3-----3--| G|-----2--------2-----|-----2--------2-----|-----2--------2-----|-----2--------2-----| D|--0-----------------|--0-----------------|--0-----------------|--0-----------------| A|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| E|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| Dsus2 Intro(variation, this variation can also be played with the other two chords, with the proper notes substituted) q e q e q q e q e e e q e q e q q e q e e e e|--------0--------|--------0-----------|--------0--------|--------0-----------| B|-----------3-----|-----------3-----3--|-----------3-----|-----------3-----3--| G|-----2--------2--|-----2--------2-----|-----2--------2--|-----2--------2-----| D|--0--------------|--0-----------------|--0--------------|--0-----------------| A|-----------------|--------------------|-----------------|--------------------| E|-----------------|--------------------|-----------------|--------------------| Dsus2 q e q e e e q e q e e e q e q e e e q e q e e e e|--------0-----------|--------0-----------|--------0-----------|--------0-----------| B|-----------3-----3--|-----------3-----3--|-----------3-----3--|-----------3-----3--| G|-------------(2)----|-------------(2)----|-------------(2)----|-------------(2)----| D|-----2--------2-----|-----2--------2-----|-----2--------2-----|-----2--------2-----| A|--0-----------------|--0-----------------|--0-----------------|--0-----------------| E|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| Asus4 q e q e e e q e q e e e q e q e e e q e q e e e e|--------0-----------|--------0-----------|--------0-----------|--------0-----------| B|-----------3-----3--|-----------3-----3--|-----------3-----3--|-----------3-----3--| G|-------------(2)----|-------------(2)----|-------------(2)----|-------------(2)----| D|-----0--------0-----|-----0--------0-----|-----0--------0-----|-----0--------0-----| A|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| E|--3-----------------|--3-----------------|--3-----------------|--3-----------------| Dsus2/G Chords: Dsus2 :xx0230 Asus4 :x02230 Dsus2/G :300230 play those arpeggios Intro: | Dsus2 | Dsus2 | Asus4 Dsus2 Asus4 Dsus2 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 Harmonica: | Asus4 | Dsus2 | Asus4 | Dsus2 | (strum or arppegiate) 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 Harmonica: | Asus4 | Dsus2 | Asus4 | Dsus2 | Dsus2/G | Dsus2 | Asus4 | Dsus2 | ************************************ | q quarter note | e eighth note ************************************
