Vivienne "Patti" Scialfa ("Skal-fa") (born July 29, 1953) is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist, best known for being a bandmate, and later wife, of rock star Bruce Springsteen.
While still in university she was submitting original material for other artists to record; however, none of her songs were recorded and she worked as a busker and waitress in Greenwich Village after graduating. Together with Soozie Tyrell and Lisa Lowell, she formed a street group known as Trickster.

Hey guys, this is my attempt of figuring out the chords to an acoustic version of this song. Any help is greatly appreciated, I´m not quite sure if it fits a 100% but it sounds good to me so far. Just comment if you have any ideas on how to make it sound more accurate.
TUNING Either low e string tuned one step down OR guitar tuned one step down and a capo on the 2nd fret except first low e string (chords according to capo).
Just lift your finger from the 4th string when playing the Dm chord to make it sound better. I listened to the acoustic version where Patti sings a duet with Bruce Springsteen during his Magic Tour. The lyrics are probably not 100% like the ones on the album version.
