Echo – Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Tom Petty
From: "Echo" (1999)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
The open maj9, 6(sus4) chords in the chorus are created by the electric
guitar arpeggio running through the chorus. If you don't have a second
instrument playing this but still want to hear these special chords, you
may want to try the voicings suggested below. If you have a second player
or do not care for these more intricate sounds, you can just play the
regular shapes, of course.
