Here's a link to a live acoustic version in Eb:
--.-/watch?ds49a_jZxAWdfNp4

NOTE: In the above video Bruce plays with the Capo at the 3rd fret,
so the song is a semi-tone lower than the original studio version.
He also throws in random embellishments with a Csus4 (x33010),
ocassionally a Asus2 (x02200), and sometimes adds a passing B note 
(x2xxxx) between the Am and C chords in the Intro, Break and Coda.

CAPO: 4th fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of E)

Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:

C = x32010    Am = x02210    F = 133211    G = 320033

Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
       C
Did he go away, and leave you all alone?

Sometimes, it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull,
          C                           Am
And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull!

[Verse 3]

At night, I wake up, with the sheets soaking wet,
      C
And a freight train running through the middle of my head,

As a very subtle alternative to the basic chords above, in the version
below I've indicated chords suggested by a few additional notes that
the keyboards are adding to the arrangement, so for a single acoustic
guitar they may be a slightly more interesting option than just the
long stretches of C and Am in the tab above. 

Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
Cadd9 = x32030   Am7 = x02213    Asus4 = x02230
C     = x32010   Am  = x02210    C *   = x32013

[Alternative Intro]
