 A augmentedA  BB E MajorE   BB     E MajorE
 But love is a long, long road

 There were so many times
 I would wake up at noon
 With my head spinning 'round
 I would wait for the moon
 And give her one more chance
 To try and save my soul
 But love is a long, long road

 Yeah it was hard to give up
 Some things are hard to let go
 Somethings are never enough
 I guess I only can hope
 For maybe one more chance
 To try and save my soul
 But love is a long, long road

Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
A augmentedA    G+G   E MajorE
Runnin' down a dream


I felt so good like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last tree days the rain was un-stoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine

I rolled on as the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There's something good waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever's mine

    ==========================


A augmentedA
I used to live in a two-room apartment
          E MajorE   A augmentedA
Neighbors knockin' on my wall

Times were hard I don't wanna knock it
        E MajorE    A augmentedA
I don't miss it much at all


CHORUS
D MajorD  A augmentedA  E MajorE   A augmentedA  D MajorD    A augmentedA       E MajorE
 Oh yeah I'm alright I just feel a little lonely tonight
D MajorD   A augmentedA E MajorE      A augmentedA D MajorD    A augmentedA       E MajorE    A augmentedA
 I'm okay most of the time I just feel a little lonely tonight


I used to need your love so badly
Then I came to live with it
Lately I get a faraway feeling
And the whole thing starts again


(CHORUS and 2nd verse)

       A augmentedA Face In The Crowd - Tom Petty

it goes something like this :-


       E minorEm       C majorC
Before All of this ever went down
      E minorEm        C majorC

      B minorBm       A minorAm          E minorEm
out in the street walking around a face in the crowd


out of a dream, out of the sky
into my heart, into my life
And you were just a face in the crowd
out in the street, thinking out loud
A augmentedA face in the crowd

=================================================================

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.
