    Refugee

    Pack Up The Plantation ...

  Great song by Tom Petty, I was dissapointed with the version that is posted, despite having 5 stars 
  and some good comments I thought it was incomplete, messy, over complicated and a little inaccurate,
  so I thought I'd post my version, it's easier to follow (I think) and is complete.
  This is an easy song to play along to and great for a beginner.
  Please feel free to rate, comment, critisise etc

  We got somethin', we both know it, we don't talk too much about it
  F#m                       A             E               F#m     A   E
  Ain't no real big secret, all the same, somehow we get around it,  listen

  F#m                     A              E           F#m       A   E

  F#m                     A          E              F#m   A   E
  Tell me why you want to lay there, revel in your abandon,    honey
  D                                       B

  D                                        E 
  Right now it seems real to you, but it's one of those things you gotta feel to be true

  Who knows maybe you were kidnapped, tied up,  taken away and held for ransom,    honey
  D                                  B
  It don't really matter to me baby, everybodys had to fight to be free, you see
