Guitar chords with lyrics

HIGHWAY 29
By Bruce Springsteen
(From the album "The Ghost of Tom Joad")

Note:  This is a wonderful song that isn't too tough to play, once you get
the picking pattern down.  For ease of play (I'm not sure if Bruce does
this or not, but I suspect it due to the sound of the fill before the last
verse) tune the low E up to an F.  This will make the piece much easier to
play than doing full barres for the F.
