Won't Last Long Chords by Tom Petty

Won't Last Long chords by Tom Petty

Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: G

Difficulty: Novice

The Cadd9 shown in the verses makes an easier transition to the D (I think it
sounds better too) than a normal C. The Cadd9 D in the verses below is a quick shift from the C to the D.

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

Intro:
Cadd9 D   Cadd9 D   Cadd9 D   G
Cadd9 D   Cadd9 D   Cadd9 D   G

Verse 1:
Cadd9 D      Cadd9 D
You and me been over this ground
Cadd9 D       G
Over this ground before
Cadd9 D       Cadd9 D
I can't explain, I can't explain
Cadd9 D       G
I can't explain anymore
