Cadillac Ranch Bruce Springsteen I fixed the solo and now it's right. This is one of Bruce's more underrated songs but it rocks and is one of my favorites by him. This is the key he usually uses when he plays song live which if the key of F. In the river album, he plays in the key of G. You play the same way but the scale is just a couple frets higher. The chord progression is still IV V. Any questions, just email me at mpsguitarguy83@comcast.net.
