PARADISE - TAB - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN This song is pretty simple it's just the same chords finger picked through the whole song there are some slight variations of hammer ons and pull offs in some spots i'm still working out. I've added a chord version under the tab that may be easier for some people to play
