Don't Fade On Me tab by Tom Petty

Don't Fade on Me
Tom Petty
from Wildflowers
Transcribed by David Hill

Tuning: D-A-D-G-A-D

I have tabbed the intro, main verses, and chorus of Don't
Fade on Me. It's kind of a free, country-style blues by Tom.
The stuff I have tabbed is not entirely accurate, it should
really only be used as an outline for you to play by yourself.
Listen to the recording and you'll see what I mean.

Any corrections would be appreciated, this is the first tab
I've ever submitted.
