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
[Am]He met a [Am/G]girl out there with[Am/F#] a tattoo [Am/G]too
The [G]future was [F]wide [C]open.[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
[Am]She had a [Am/G]guitar and she t[Am/F#]aught him some [Am/G]chords
The [G]sky [F]was the [C]limit.[G] [C] [G] [G] [C] [GD]
[G]Into the [C]great wide [D(sus4)]open, [G]under them [Em]skies of [D]blue[Am]
[G]Out in the [C]great wide [D(sus4)]open, a [G]rebel with[F]out a [Em]clue.[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.
