This is how I like to play the intro and the little riff part after each chorus in
the song, its obviously a piano in the actual song but this is how I play it on
the Guitar, i think it sounds pretty good.   (standard tuning; no capo) i also
included the whole song lyrics and chords.  ,Taylor R

 Eric Church: Springsteen

(intro/riff)
verse number 1:
D
to this day when i hear that song,
  D
i see you standin there on that lawn,
G
discount shades and store bought tan,
Bm             A
flipflops and cut off jeans
D
somewhere between that settin sun,
D
im on fire and born to run,
G
you looked at me and i was done,
            Bm            A
but we were just gettin started.

D
i was sangin to you, you were sangin to me,
D
i was so alive never been more free,
G                                       Bm         A
fired up my daddys lighter and we sang oh whoa oh oh oh ohh

D
stayed there till they forced us out,
D
 took the long way to your house,
    G
and I can still hear the sound,
       Bm           A
of you sayin dont go (oh ohh)

Chorus:
D
when I think about you,
A
i think about seventeen,
Bm
i think about my old jeep,
G
i think about the stars in the sky.
Bm                 A
funny how a melody sounds like a memory,
D                      G               Em  A
like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night,
D         G        D         G
springsteen (riff)

Verse:
D
i bumped in to you by happenstance,
D
you probably wouldnt even know who i am,
   G
but if I whispered your name i bet,
        Bm         A
thered still be a spark.
D                                       D
back when I was gasoline and this ole tattoo had brand new ink,
      G                                             Bm         A
and we didn't care what your moma'd think bout your name on my arm.
    D
baby is it spring or is it summer,
  D
the guitar sound or the beat of that drummer,
    G                               Bm   A
you hear sometimes late at night on your radio.
    D
even though youre a million miles away,
    D
when you hear born in the USA,
   G                                Bm     A
do you relive those glory days from so long ago? (oh ohh)

[Chorus]
D
when you think about me,
A
do you think about seventeen,
Bm
do you think about my old jeep,
G
think about the stars in the sky
Bm                 A
funny how a melody sounds like a memory,
D                      G              Em    A
like a soundtrack to a july saturday night,
D         G          D           G
