Countin' On A Miracle - Bruce Springsteen (From The Rising)

At last! a new album from the Boss, and some cracking tunes on it, such as this one.....

yeah I know its only the chords cos I can't do the rest - if anyone else knows it please tell me!!

Lyrics are taken straight out of the book, so if they're wrong then Bruce sang the wrong words.
