One Story Town
        (words & music by Tom Petty)


The intro is:  B5* (the bass occasionally plays an Chord diagramA augmentedA and hammers on a Chord diagramBB note,
you can hear it in the song).

The intro riff is:

Chord diagramE MajorE -----------|------------------||
Chord diagramBB -----------|---------------7--||
Chord diagramG+G -9--8h9p8--|-----9--8---------||
Chord diagramD MajorD -----------|-7----------9-----||
Chord diagramA augmentedA -----------|------------------||
Chord diagramE MajorE -----------|------------------||
Please escuse the vulgar misinterpretations of the lyrics:


      Chord diagramF#5F#5
Yeah, I~ve been standing up
Chord diagramE5E5
I~ve been breaking free
  Chord diagramF#5F#5                    Chord diagramE5E5           B5*
I don~t want fate handed down to me
      Chord diagramF#5F#5
Yeah, I~ve been moving on
Chord diagramE5E5
Try another town
Chord diagramF#5F#5
Times ain~t changin~ nothing
Chord diagramE5E5                   B5*
Take a look around

    Chord diagramD5D5        Chord diagramA5A5        Chord diagramG5G5
I~m lost in a one story town
      Chord diagramD5D5           Chord diagramA5A5           Chord diagramG5G5
Where everything~s close to the ground
      Chord diagramG5G5             Chord diagramA5A5
Yeah, same shit goes down
Chord diagramG5G5            Chord diagramA5A5
Nothing turns around
       Chord diagramG5G5  Chord diagramA5A5      B5*
It~s a one story town
She was over seventeen when I held her to her word
Had to push her luck
Thought she couldn~t breathe
No it didn~t hurt me when she had to leave
She had a far away feeling
Wasn~t part of me

I~m lost in a one story town
Where everything~s close to the ground
Yeah, same shit goes down
Nothing turns around
It~s a one story town

Instrumental:  A5, A5, A5....B5

Yeah, I~m lost in a one story town
Where everything~s close to the ground
Yeah, same shit goes down
Nothing turns around
It~s a one story town

Ending:  B5*


Those high guitar parts for the chorus are:

   X                    Y

Chord diagramE MajorE -----17--14---------|-5h7p5----------8h10p8-|
Chord diagramBB -15----------15-----|-----------------------|
Chord diagramG+G -----------------16-|-----------------------|
Chord diagramD MajorD --------------------|-----------------------|
Chord diagramA augmentedA --------------------|-----------------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE --------------------|-----------------------|


-X- is played sometimes during the first half of the chorus and -Y- is played
after that part where Petty sings -same shit goes down-.

I hope this has been help towards you.


Oh yeah!  For the instrumental Mike's guitar just plays:

Chord diagramA augmentedA -10--12--
Chord diagramE MajorE ---------

And that's about it.
