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. Bm Men walkin' long the ... D Bm A Goin' someplace ....
