(intro again 1x)
 DDsusDsusDAsus
it's a long day   livin' in Reseda
 DDsusDsusDAsus
there's a free-way runnin' through the yard
 DDsusDsusDAsus
and i'm a bad boy, cause i don't even miss her
 DDsusDsusDAsus
i'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

 D-DsusDsus-D-Asus
free fall-in'
all the vampires walkin' through the valley

all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
and the good girls are home with broken hearts
now i'm free
free fall-in'

free fall-in'
intro again, with light solo/riff
(free fallin, now I'm, free fallin)
i wanna glide down over Mulholland
i wanna write her name in the sky
gonna free fall out into nothin'
gonna leave this world for a while
and i'm free
(free fallin, now I'm, free fallin)
free fall-in'
(free fallin, now I'm, free fallin)
ya i'm free
(free fallin, now I'm, free fallin)
free fall-in'

In this vid I'll carry you through the fingering for the chords and the strum. Also included is and embellished strum that I like to play when it's only one guitar to help fill it in some. Hope you find it helpfull! Peace!

That sounds great as an accompaniment or intro but I think the chord progression is major D,G,D,A perhaps with that embellishment played over or throughout on a second guitar. Let me know what you think. JK
Guitarpix (report comment to admin): 
Hey man! I like the dgda sequence also. That's actually the way I learned to play it. Now after playing this version for awhile I tend to favor it. But yea usually we play this with a few friends and I believe they all have diffrent variations and chords as well. As to which one is accurate I have no idea..All of them are fun to play so that's good enough for me...lol Peace! I was told at one time that this version was correct it had just been transposed...True or not? Don't know?

These are the correct chords:

capo I

E       - 022100

Asus/E  - 002200

Bsus/F# - 224400

I've found that it if you play it G, C, C, G, D, it sounds pretty good
JohnMikeTed (report comment to admin): 
The chords, from a songbook that I am looking at:



F          1-3-3-2-1-1

Bbsus2     0-1-3-3-1-1

F          1-3-3-2-1-1

Csus       X-3-3-0-1-3



Give it a try..the change from F to Csus gets easier with practice.  This sounds to my ear to be how TP plays is.  Enjoy.
lespaul69 (report comment to admin): 
Tom Petty plays it in the key of "F"

F~Bb~F~C however I have played it with a lot of bands in the key of "G" G~C~G~D which is better if you are just learning to play.
Shanewinterss (report comment to admin): 
whats the best strum pattern???
Nicolette95 (report comment to admin): 
I think this song sounds better with the capo on the second fret. =)
YeTi20 (report comment to admin): 
F in 5th pos is fingered like a D in 1st pos so everyone is right [just can't play the "lead" with a capo on the 3rd fret]

2 guitars one capoed one not is the best way to play it



just my opinion

That isn't the standard d fingering that I learned.  The way you finger it makes the transition easier; but it isn't the standard fingering.
