Nice job!!

Actually to play it correctly, there are nuances to the chords played. Its a piano song, and takes alot to try to replicate it on guitar. It is in the key of F as well. No worries, Bruce himself dumbs down the song when he plays it live

Does the copy right not belong to the writer and the original artist? “Tom Waites”

Kudos 👌

Bro that F chord sounds so good!

Kisss from France ❤

Great bro

Thanks bro

Having fun

I wrote the lyrics to this when I was in high school. Bruce was recording at Sky Blue studios in Sonoma California. The 69 Chevy was originally a 396 Ss 4 speed car that belonged to Harry Maglin. When Harry had it he had a 427 in it. Harry sold it to Kevin Johnson and Slim with a tired 396. Kevin and Slim took out the big block and put a small block and an automatic in it. Fueling heads weren't an option on the big block. The guy in the Camaro is Joe Morich. The girl is Becky Icough. The track is Sears Point raceway in California. Kevin and Sim eventually sold the Chevelle to a black guy from Oakland who rolled it on an on-ramp over by Vallejo. The song is based on Dancing In The Streets by Martha and the Vandellas. The storyline was inspired by Twp Lane Blacktop which starred James Taylor. The girl who stars out into space and hates forl being born that was Shannon Johnson. I provided the lyrics to Bruce Springsteen in 1975. Bruce promised to pay me if he used them depending on how good they were. I guess Bruce just forgot about his promise or willfully welched on his agreement. I only had the lyrics I didn't do the music. Bruce if you read this find me I live in Glen Ellen California. I'm still proud of the song. I just need some money for retirement. Take care and be well.

Fantastic

Hey Tony I stumbled upon your page ! God bless ya man ! Sounds great

Hey… you’re not Daniel Day Lewis?!

I think Something is off with the tabs

What key harmonica do you play the saxophone part in?

You have a great voice Tony! I fully agree with you, this version of the song, broken down to the bare essentials, is just so beautiful. There are a couple of great recorded version of it, one on Chimes of Freedom and one on The Live Series: Stripped Down.

Welcome back!

Can you tell me what model is your Martin guitar. It has a really nice tone thanks for your passion for the music and passing it on

Thank you for not only breaking down this song and bringing back a lot of good memories from many years ago

where are you from?? I mean living now?? You're such a Springsteen fan - could you possibly be from south Jersey??

Canada..... You sound like my relatives I've not seen since I was like 15 at a family reunion

Thanks Man! You are so so genuine!

Another great video. Do you have any tips on developing a natural strumming pattern?

Great lesson. I like singing this song too - I need to work on my strumming pattern though I find the chords easy

Hey, Tony. Just saying thanks for helping me get started on guitar. You’ve been quiet and I hope you’re doing well.

he talks a better song than sings it.

This is great. Thanks so much for teaching this version. It makes it so much smoother for me than having to jump quickly to 50 different funky & stretch chords while trying to keep my mind and emotions on the lyrics.

😉

Very nicely done. I think your interpretation of the final verse is spot on.

good tips

You are a hole why don't you change the words to your own songs

Great video. You do a great job. Also imagine some people comment Bruce doesn't have a great voice. If you know his body of work he can do so much with his voice it's incredible

This was great! Thank you Tony.

I’ve been playing in performing this song, live, acoustic/harp solo, for many years but always had trouble with a few parts that you targeted. Thanks so much. Great job. Dig your style.

Awesome

Don’t sing!

Good stuff Tony! Nice guitar. Keep it going.

Awesome.

Could you go over how to do the note bends for a beginner? Does "6+" in the tab mean you bend the note on the 6th hole up? Sometimes harp tab come w "blow" or "draw" to help w hitting the right note. Thank you

Hey Tony. Love this video. Messaging you here from Ireland. I was wondering what make and type of harmonica you would recommend. Woukd love to learn some of Bruce's songs on harmonica. Many thanks for your help. Mike

Hi Tony, have you seen this old black and white recording of Born To Run Acoustic? Its not the best footage mind you, ruclips.net/video/ccKzusBCZKc/видео.htmlsi=mbJGMEuFMH-N9eXJ
