Bruce Springsteen — The Wrestler (ver 7) Chords
I have been obsessed with this song. I play piano by ear, and have played these
along with Bruce in the song. It's exactly dead on, I even got the little sweet instrumental
between the verses (that high piano note sound in the song, is "F, G, to G#
with this part while listening to the cd and I promise you it will make sense. I suggest
with the notes of the chords and if possible play the Bb as an inversion. Enjoy The Boss!
