Bruce Springsteen Further On (Up The Road) from The Rising transcribed by Rod Nolan (rodnolan@yahoo.com) standard tuning - capo at 1st fret all chord shapes and names indicated are relative to capo - actual chord is one semitone higher this song doesn't really follow a nice set structure which makes it more interesting and challenging to play. I've tried to describe it as I see it but I'd love to hear your interpretation. Here's mine: this verse breaks the trend: although the number of bars in what I've called bridge / verse 3 is the same as a regular first two lines (what I've called the bridge) is different. So, in the song, it feels like the verse is starting where I've indicated but there are two less lines, which are taken up by the preceeding bridge solo this verse is similar to verse 3 in that it's preceded by that bridge bit again... bridge (2x) after the that ends the first chorus, lead in to the second with a chord ... end the song with 9 downstroke strums on the bridge bit is pretty cool because the first time (verse 3) it follows the chorus and the second time it's wedged right in between two verses (4 and 5)... very versatile set of bars! enough analysis! if you listen to the song you should be able to follow the chords as I've written them. I figured this song out on an acoustic but the distorted electric in the song does lots of embellishments on the basic chords so you'll have to play around a bit to figure them out. I think the electric probably plays barre chords with lots of agile little-finger hammer-ons... or maybe the electric is in an open tuning? your interpretations???
