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:
E minorEm Em? E minor 7Em7 Em6Em6
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--------------------------------------|
E minorEm Em? E minor 7Em7 Em6Em6
Eddie waited till he finished high school
E minorEm Em? E minor 7Em7 Em6Em6
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
A minorAm Am/GAm/G Am/F# Am/GAm/G
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
G+G FF C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
The future was wide open.
E minorEm Em? E minor 7Em7 Em6Em6
They moved into a place they both could afford
E minorEm Em? E minor 7Em7 Em6Em6
He found a nightclub he could work at the door
A minorAm Am/GAm/G Am/F# Am/GAm/G
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
G+G FF C majorC G+G C majorC G+G G+G C majorC GD
The sky was the limit.
G+G C majorC D(sus4) G+G E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm
Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue
G+G C majorC D(sus4) G+G FF E minorEm A augmentedA
Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.
(instrum: play the intro riff and end with G+G then A augmentedA - 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+G C majorC G+G G+G C majorC G.
------------------------------------------------------
This is a pretty simple one 1 guitar plays the simple chord pattern
FF C majorC A minorAm G+G
The other guitar plays this little riff:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
