THE GHOST OF TOM JOAD
By Bruce Springsteen
(From the album "The Ghost of Tom Joad")

Note: I'm just including chords for this song, since not all of it is
fingerpicked in a repeating pattern, and since I play this by myself I
strum most of it after the first chorus, anyway. Harmonica players will be
glad to see this song is in B minor, which allows you to play it on your D
major harmonica. (Nebrasks fans will undoubtedly have a D harmonica.) I
don't include fingerings for this song. There'll standard, as far as my
ear can discern.
