Lonesome Day Chords

(ver. 1)
Bruce Springsteen
Ok, most of the Boss's career he has favored the key of F.  But on the Rising, his 
album, he seems to be using a lot of Bb and Eb chord progressions.  This song is a great 
of this, it's Lonesome Day....


Standard tunning, Capo 3 (all chords and tabs relevant to capo)
key:Eb (might be Bb though)
/ = slide
~ = vibrato or tremelo
x2= repeat the line
