The Promised Land (acoustic version) - Bruce Springsteen This is the chords for the acoustic version of "The Promised Land", a masterpiece version he made due to the ONE's Agit8 campaign in 2013. Please check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8UjZczqJ7I The chords for this version aren't posted anywhere on the internet, so I figured it out myself. Please contact me if you have any questions or need any help. Tips: It's better to use your thumb to cover the top strings when you play the chords Fmaj and F6. You can also play the Fadd11 chord with your thumb on the top string, but Bruce uses his ring finger to press down the top E string. Please take a look at the video from this performance to see the way he plays it! Enjoy strumming!
