Bass tabs
Song: BADLANDS
Bruce Springsteen and The E Srteet Band
Album: Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978) studio album
or Live from NY City (2001), live album (live July 2000, MSG, NY)
Transcribed by:

Here you have the main lines for different parts of the song.
I have transcribed the live and the studio versions.
The live version is more powerful (and easier?).
About the album version I am not sure; there are many variations in
lengh of notes, but maybe the tab here helps someone to get it.
Listen to the song to get the structure.
Corrections are welcome!
