Big thanks! That's how he plays the acoustic "Born to run" (1988) too?

You're welcome. Once you get tuned up, the song basically uses four chord shapes. Since the tuning is altered, the chord names are obviously different, but the the main chords are basically an Am7 shape with all strings ringing, an A2 shape with eth 6th string muted, and something close to a D/F# shape - Bruce uses his thumb to fret the 6th and 5th strings at the second fret for that one. The intro melody line is pretty easy to pick up. Let me know if you need more help.

As for BtR '88, pretty sure that one was standard tuning, nothing tricky there. Been a LONG time since I've played that one though, so I may be wrong.
