Won't Last Long chords by Tom Petty

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Key: G+G

Difficulty: Novice

The Cadd9Cadd9 shown in the verses makes an easier transition to the D MajorD (I think it
sounds better too) than a normal C. The Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD in the verses below is a quick shift from the C majorC to the D.

The song starts out in the key of G+G but it's all over the place as some F's and Gm's are thrown in.
