Here Comes My Girl chords by Tom Petty

Chords with lyrics

Written by: T.P. & Mike Campbebell/Album: "Damn The Torpedoes"–MCA
(1979)

The main progression for the INTRO and VERSE of the song goes like
this––
Use a 1st finger barre at 2nd fret, move (not slide) it up to 4th fret.
When you play it with the song, you'll get the feel of it:

VERSE 2:Every now and then I get down to the....

CHORUS and then BREAK (see bottom)

VERSE 3:Yeah every time it seems there ain't nothin' .....

CHORUS then END
(the ending is just the first and last measures of the VERSE: Chord diagramA augmentedA to B/A)

BREAK: This break repeats three times, and the fourth time just
       continues the same vamp on the Chord diagramE MajorE and Chord diagramA augmentedA strings, to VERSE 3.

  Chord diagramF#5F#5                                                        The numbers
E-------------------------------------0-|                o     on this
B------------------------0^2^0--------2-| F#5: | | | | | |   chord diagram
G-------------------------------3-----3-|      T | | | 1 |  (and Chord diagramE9E9 below)
D----------------------------------4--4-|      | | | 2 | |   represent the
A-4--4--4-4-4-4-4--4--4---------------4-|      | 3 4 | | |    finger used.
E-2--2--2-2-2-2-2--2--2---------------2-|                  "T" means
								Thumb.

The '^' means hammer on the first time, and pull off the second time.
When pulling off, sort of flick the Chord diagramBB string so it rings clearly.

Also, the Chord diagramE MajorE in the CHORUS can be played with an Chord diagramE9E9 in the middle:

  Chord diagramE MajorE     Chord diagramE9E9    Chord diagramE MajorE                                         o       o

  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

                                   ENJOY!
