This is Bruce Springsteen's, 'This Hard Land'. As far as I'm aware, it didn't
feature on any released album, but it can be found on his Greatest Hits (1995).
This is the version without a capo on third, but if you want that version just use
the tool and shift it up three half steps.
Intro: F Bb C F (x2)
Verse 1:
Hey there misBbter, can you Ctell me what happened
To the seFeds I've sown
Can you give me a Bbreason siCr
As to why they've nFever grown
They've just blBbown around from tFown to town
Till they'reC back out on these fielFds
BbWhere they fall from mFy hand
CBack into the dirt of tFhis hard land
Verse 2:
Now me and my sisBbter from GCermantown, we Fdid ride
We made our beBbd sir fromC the rock on the mFountainside
We been Bbblowin' around from townF to town
CLookin' for a place to stFand
Where the sun burst thBbrough the cloud to falFl like a circle
Like a cCircle of fire down on this haFrd land
Verse 3:
Now even the raBbin it don't come 'rounCd
It don't come 'rounFd here no more
And the only sBbound at night's the winCd
Slammin' the bFack porch door
ItBb just stirs you up like it wants toF blow you down
CTwistin' and churnin' up the sand F
BbLeavin' all them scarecrows Flyin' face down
CFace down in the dirt of thFis hard land

Verse 3:
From a building Bbup on the hill
I canC hear a tape deck blastin' "FHome on the Range"
I can see them BbBar-M choppers
CSweepin' lowF across the plains
It'Bbs me and you Frank we're lookin' Ffor lost cattle
OurC hooves twistin' and churnin' up the sand F
We're rBbidin' in the whirlwind searFchin' for lost treasure
CWay down south of the RiFo Grande
We're rBbidin' 'cross that river
In the Fmoonlight
CUp onto the banks of thFis hard land
Verse 4:
Hey Frank won't ya pBback your bags
And mCeet me tonight down at LibFerty Hall
Just one Bbkiss from you my brother
CAnd we'll ride untFil we fall
We'llBb sleep in the fields
We'llF sleep by the rivers and in the morCning
We'll make a pFlan
Well if you can'Bbt make it
Stay hard, stay hFungry, stay alive
If you Ccan
And meet me in a dream of thiFs hard land
