Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949), nicknamed "The Boss," is an American singer-songwriter and leader of the E Street Band. He is recognized for his poetic lyrics, his Jersey Shore roots, his distinctive voice, and his lengthy, energetic stage performances.
Springsteen has recorded both rock albums and more somber folk-oriented works. His most successful studio albums, Born to Run (1975) and Born in the U.S.A. (1984), find pleasures in the struggles of daily American life.

VERSE: D He rode the rails since the Great Depression A Fifty years out on the skids He said "You don't cross nobody D You'll be all right out here kid."
VERSE: D Left my family in Pennsylvania A Searchin' for work I hit the road I met Frank in East Texas D In a freight yard blown through with snow
VERSE: D From Mexico to Colorado A California to the sea Frank he showed me the ropes sir D Just till I could get back on my feet
VERSE: D I hoed sugar beets outside of Firebaugh A I picked the peaches from the Marysville trees They bunked us in a barn just like animals D Me and a hundred others just like me
E -----------------------------| B -----------------------------| G ------2-2--------------------| D -2h4-------2h4-2---2h4p2-0---| A -----------------------------| E -----------------------------|
VERSE: D We split up come the springtime A I never seen Frank again 'Cept one rainy night he blew by me on a grainer D Shouted my name and disappeared in the rain and wind
VERSE: D They found him shot dead outside of Stockton A His body lyin' on a muddy hill Nothin' taken, nothin' stolen D Somebody killin' just to kill

BREAK: DAD Late that summer I was rollin' through the plains of Texas GD A vision passed before my eyes AD A small house sittin' trackside AD With the glow of the savior's beautiful light
DAD A woman stood cookin' in the kitchen GD Kid sat at a table with his old man AD Now I wonder does my son miss me AD Does he wonder where I am
E -----------------------------| B -----------------------------| G ------2-2--------------------| D -2h4-------2h4-2---2h4p2-0---| A -----------------------------| E -----------------------------|
VERSE: D Tonight I pick my campsite carefully A Outside the Sacramento yard Gather some wood and light a fire D In the early winter dark
VERSE: D Wind whistling cold I pull my coat around me A Heat some coffee and stare out into the black night I lie awake I lie awake sir D With my machete by my side
VERSE: My Jesus your gracious love and mercy A Tonight I'm sorry could not fill My heart Like one good rifle D And the name of who I ought to kill
