D - Dsus4 - D - Asus4 

Works fine for me, I have no idea what Tom Petty plays exactly.
See it like this: Don't play a song, play your version of that song.

Cheers,

Yep, this progression sounds good to me.

There are loads of different versions of this song on Chordie. Look through them and try to find one with this progression in it and you shouldn't be far off.

Bear in mind that the artists themselves often change to easier chord progressions when playing live.

Re: free fallin- tom petty

i think g c c g d works for the intro and chorus but g c-c-d works for the verses acapo

acapo is correct. The verse is slightly different. Experiment a bit and you'll find the sound you're looking for. Good luck with this great song smile
