• Song:

    Nothing Man

  • Artist:

    Bruce Springsteen

  • Album:

    The Rising

My first chords on here - after trying to play this song with the previous tab I decided 
work it out myself :)  This is one of my favourites of Springsteen's many wonderful songs.
- it's about a GI returning from the Iraq war I believe.

Capo 3rd fret to play along with the song, although The Boss often plays it live with 
capo on 4th.

Chords in song: C, F, Am, G

Intro-C F Am C F Am

C
I don't remember how I felt
F       Am
I never thought I'd live
C
To read about myself
F     Am
In my hometown paper
C
How my brave young life
F   Am
Was forever changed
C
In a misty cloud
F  Am
Of pink vapor
C
Darlin' give me your kiss
F    Am
Only understand
C G       Am          F
I am the nothing man

C G Am F

And so on using these chords.....

Around here
Everybody acts the same
Around here 
Everybody acts like nothing's changed
Friday night
The club meets at Al's Barbecue
The sky is still
The same unbelievable blue
Darlin' give me your kiss
Come and take my hand
I am the nothing man


You can call me Joe
Buy me a drink and shake my hand
You want courage
I'll show you courage you can understand
Pearl and silver
Restin' on my night table
It's just me Lord
Pray that I'm able
Darlin' with this kiss
Say you understand


I am the nothing man
I am the nothing man
