RENO - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

Here it is! These are the chords that I figured out, the song is in D
on the album but this can be played in any key using a capo or
different chord formations. Personally, I play it in F using a capo on
the third fret because its alot easier to sing. But for those of you
that can sing in low D don't bother with the capo. The chords I've
figured out fit are D11 with the drop D thumping strum, Am7, C and G.
The chord formations I used can be found at the bottom of this post.
I also use drop D tuning given the fact that I play this using a D
chord as my base chord. So anyways here it is...


Drop D Tuning (DADGBe)


D11

She took off her stockings, I held them to my face.
Am7 C D11
She had your ankles, I felt filled with grace.

"Two hundred dollars straight in,

Two-fifty up the ass," she smiled and said.
Am7 C
She unbuckled my belt, pulled back her hair,
D11
And sat in front of me on the bed.

She said, "Honey how's that feel, do you want me to go slow?"
Am7 C D11
My eyes drifted out the window, down to the road below.
G D11
I felt my stomach tighten. The sun bloodied the sky
Am7 D11
And sliced through the hotel blinds. I closed my eyes.

Sunlight on the Amatitlan, sunlight streaming thru your hair.
Am7 C D11
In the Valle de dos Rios, smell of mock orange filled the air.

We rode with the vaqueros, down into cool rivers of green.
Am7 C
I was sure the work and that smile coming out 'neath your hat
D11
Was all I'd ever need.
G D11
Somehow all you ever need's, never really quite enough you know.
Am7 D11
You and I, Maria, we learned it's so.

D11 - Am7 - C - D11

She slipped me out of her mouth, "You're ready," she said.
Am7 C
She took off her bra and panties, wet her finger, slipped it inside her,
D11
And crawled over me on the bed.
G
She poured me another whisky,

Said, "Here's to the best you ever had."
D11
We laughed and made a toast.
Am7 C
It wasn't the best I ever had,
D11
Not even close.

D11 - Am7 - C - D11

D11 Am7 C G Some hammer-ons and pull-offs
e--0-----0-----0-----0-- on the e string during D11 and G
