Tuning: Open D + capo 4th fret / Standard
Springsteen uses an open tuning for this demo recording which later evolved
into “Atlantic City”. I tabbed out shapes for standard tuning too, if you
don’t want to take the trouble of retuning. The sound of the open tuning is
the strings are tuned down, not up).

LYRICS (chord pattern: see above)
Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
Now that town is in for a fight
Frighten'd of the dice they roll
Where the highway ends and the sands turn to gold
Where the turnpike ends and turns to gold
Me and my baby ...
Well I drew my money from the Central Trust
And I hopped with my guitar on a greyhound bus
Heading down south money...guitar in my hand
On a one way ticket to the promised land
Out where [unclear]
Down where the [unclear] turn to rust
And a weekend... a weeks pay baby
And the weeks pay in a minute just turns to dust
Me again baby I wouldn't leave
Again 'till I believe
Some gonna stand man and some gonna fall
Some ain't gonna get to play the game at all
Where they give you the worst and they take the best
For a fist full of dollars and a little bit less
A Afist full of dollars and a Alittle Bbit Eless
