Into the Great Wide Open Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
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.
