Into the Great Wide Open  Tom Petty


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/FTbe G]future was [F]wide [C]open.
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/FTbe G]sky [F]was the [C]limit.
  [G]Into the [C]great wide [D(sus4]open,    [G]under them [Em]skies of [D]blue
[G]Out in the [C]great wide [D(sus4]open,    a [G]rebel with[F]out a [Em]clue.
(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.
