This chord progression reminds me of ABAC

sorry man, not hearing it. Great cover though. I always get surprised when I come back to Springsteen that I forgot how amazing he is.

I hear what you're hearing during the head/intro.
I pull out "This Business of Art" from time-to-time, but most of the rest of their (Tegan & Sara) music doesn't excite me at all.

Good point. I suppose that the Travis track is an OK cover of a crap song.

The worst cover of all time is, in fact, Bob Dylan's cover of the very same song, Dancing in the Dark. It is utterly execrable, and is the worst feature of the "Genuine NET Covers" boot, which is itself fairly awful.
Tegan and Sara's is much better. If they got rid of the horribly affected singing (we get it, you're oh-so-sincere singer-songwriters), then it would be pretty good.
The chord progression is not ABAC, not even close. What you're hearing is a little lick they're playing which is similar to a lick in ABAC, I think.

All said and done, the cover thing on the WC tour was way cool! I hope they do that again next tour. I know some of them were mediocore at best but some were simply amazing (the weight, train in vain, black day in july..etc). I was at the Detroit sound check and it was very interesting to see how they band worked on the cover tunes... ie, in Detroit they tried out several songs with Detroit theme till they got something that would work (panic in Detroit, Black Day and an Iggy song)

And I agree that the Springsteen cover is simular to ABAC. It is indeed the same chord progression. D-A-G with a C thrown in.
