Here's a slightly more tricky TP song - any suggestions or corrections
are most welcome. Anyway here comes my version of ...
INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN by TOM PETTY from the album of same name
=================================================================
The intro and first few bars of the verse seem to be the following:
Em Em? Em7 Em6
e---0---------------------------------------------------|
b---0---------------------------------------------------| The chord names are probably a bit
g---0---------------------------------------------------| dodgy but - hey. If you play this
d---2----1---0-------- on an acoustic 12-| string (like TP's
a---2----2---2---4--------------------------------------| nice Martin one ...) it sounds ok.
e---0----0---0---0--------------------------------------|
Em Em? Em7 Em6
Eddie waited till he finished high school
Em Em? Em7 Em6
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
AmHe met a Am/Ggirl out there withAm/F# a tattoo Am/Gtoo
The Gfuture was Fwide Copen. G C G
Em Em? Em7 Em6
They moved into a place they both could afford
Em Em? Em7 Em6
He found a nightclub he could work at the door
AmShe had a Am/Gguitar and she tAm/F#aught him some Am/Gchords
G F C G C G G C GD
The sky was the limit.
GInto the Cgreat wide D(sus4)open, Gunder them Emskies of Dblue Am
GOut in the Cgreat wide D(sus4)open, a Grebel withFout a Emclue. A
(instrum: play the intro riff and end with G then A - I think)
The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the charts
The sky was the limit.
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled.
Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single."
The future was wide open.
Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.
Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.
final flourish: G C G G C G.
