Somebody asked for Bruce's Highway Patrolman.  Here it is,
or at least this is how I play it.  Just arpeggio the chords, and sometimes
on the D chord Bruce drops the F# note to an open E note (Dsus2??).

Nebraska hint:  The songs Nebraska, Mansion on the Hill, and Used Cars
                all use the D-G-A or D-A-G progressions in one way or
                another.
