Song: Atlantic City
Artist: Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band
Album: Born In The U.S.A. (1984)
Bassist: Garry W. Tallent
Info: This song was originally released in ‘Nebraska’ (acoustic). But I have transcribed the live full band album ‘Live from NYC’ (2001). The main line is the same for verse and chorus, just add or remove notes when the song needs them. Listen to the song for the structure. Corrections are welcome.
