Tom Petty's cover of Thunderclap Newman's "something in the air". I learned this
song a couple months ago and by listening to the album I know it is about 100% correct.
Great song and easy.  Enjoy

Standard tuning  EADGBe
The song uses basic chords
   D (xx0232@1)  Em (022000@1)  F#m (244222@1)   E (022100@1)    G (320003@1)  A (x02220@1)   B---2----0------2------0------3----0-----2---- (x2444x@1)---3----0------2------0------3----2-----4----
