You see, you don't have to live like a refugee.

Tom Petty - Here Comes My Girl
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:
A B/A Amaj7 B/A
E-------------------|--------------|-------------------|-------------------
B-2-----------------|-4-----4--5--7|-5-----------------|-4-----------------
G-2-----------------|-4-----4------|-6-----------------|-4-----------------
D-2-----------------|-4-----4------|-7-----------------|-4-----------------

E-------------------|--------------|-------------------|-------------------
VERSE 1:
A
You know, sometimes, I don't know why
B/A Amaj7 B/A
But this whole town just seems so hopeless
A B/A
I ain't really sure but it seems I remember the good times
Amaj7 B/A
Were just a little bit more in focus
A B/A
But when she puts her arms around me
Amaj7 B/A
I can somehow rise above it
A B/A
Yeah man when I got that little girl standing right by my side
Amaj7 B/A
You know I can tell the whole wide world to shove it
CHORUS:
E A E A
Hey here comes my girl Here comes my girl
F#m B (normal B chord)
Yeah and she looks so right She is all I need tonight
VERSE 2:
Every now and then I get down to the end of a day
I'll just have to stop, ask myself, "What've I done?"
It just seems so useless to have to work so hard
And nothin' ever really seem to come from it
And then she looks me in the eye, says, "We gonna last forever,"
And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it
No, because this feels so good and so free and so right
I know we ain't never goin' change our minds about it
CHORUS and then BREAK (see bottom)
VERSE 3:
Yeah every time it seems there ain't nothin' left no more
I find myself havin' to reach out and grab hold of somethin'
Yeah, I just catch myself wanderin', waitin', worryin'
About some silly little things that don't add up to nothin'
And then she looks me in the eye, says, "We gonna last forever,"
And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it
No, because this feels so good and so free and so right
I know we ain't never goin' change our minds about it
CHORUS then END
(the ending is just the first and last measures of the VERSE: A to B/A)
BREAK:
This break repeats three times, and the fourth time just
continues the same vamp on the E and A strings, to VERSE 3.
F#5 The numbers

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 B string so it rings clearly.
Also, the E in the CHORUS can be played with an E9 in the middle:

Lyrics:
She's a good girl, loves her mama
loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
loves horses and her boyfriend too
It's a long day livin' in Reseda
there's a free-way runnin' through the yard
and I'm a bad boy, cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart
Chorus:
And I'm free, I'm free fallin'
All the vampires walkin' through the valley
move west down Ventura Boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
All the good girls are home with broken hearts
Repeat Chorus
Do this little thing:
E -4----4-2---0-2-0--
right before the backing vocals go "Free fallin, yeah I'm free fallin" twice
after the chorus right before the next verse.
I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I wanna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for awhile
Chorus

The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the charts
The sky was the limit.
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled.
Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single."
The future was wide open.
Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.
Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.

Am G
She grew up in an Indiana town
D Am
Had a good lookin' mama who never was around
Am G
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
D Am
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night
Well she moved down here at the age of 18
She blew the boys away, it was more than they'd seen
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
She said, "I dig you baby but I got to keep movin'"
...on, keep movin' on
Chorus:
D
Last dance with Mary Jane
A
One more time to kill the pain
D
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm
A
Tired of this town again
Well I don't know but I've been told
You never slow down, you never grow old
I'm tired of screwing up, I'm tired of bein' down
I'm tire of myself, I'm tired of this town
Oh my my, oh hell yes
Honey put on that party dress
Buy me a drink, sing me a song,
Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long
Repeat chorus:
There's pidgeons down in Market Square
She's standin' in her underwear
Lookin' down from a hotel room
Nightfall will be comin' soon
Oh my my, oh hell yes
You've got to put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone
I hit the last number, I walked to the road
