When playing the Asus4 part,try experimenting with hammering on and off the two
strings you are playing with your middle two fingers. it can sound really cool.
You can get the rhythm from listening to the song, its not too hard.
Asus4 Dsus4(add)
Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks
Cmaj G6add11
Goin' someplace there's no goin' back
G6add11
Highway patrol choppers coming up over the bridge
Dsus4add9 Asus4
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretchin' 'round the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleepin' in their cars in the southwest
No home no job no peace no rest
Fmaj
The highway is alive tonight
Cmaj G6add11 Am
But nobody's kiddin' nobody 'bout where it goes
Dsus4add9
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Asus4
Searchin' for the Ghost of Tom Joad
The rest of it just goes on like this.

wherever a hungry newborn baby cries

Look for me mom I'll be there

Look in their eyes mom you'll see me.
