Subject: SHADOW OF A DOUBT by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers


Shadow of a Doubt (A Complex Kid)
	-Tom Petty


Basically this song starts out with an A riff that is also played throughout
in the verses.  I'm not too sure about the A riff, but this comes close:

A riff:

E -------------------|------------------||
B -5-5~--5---5-5-5~--|-5-5~--7-7-5------||
G -6-6~--6h7p6-6-6~--|-6-6~--7-7-6--6~--||
D -7-7~--7---7-7-7~--|-7-7~---------7~--||
A -0-0---0---0---0---|-0-0--------------||
E -------------------|------------------||

I hope that isn't too confusing.  Anyway here is the actual song (in full):


Intro:  A riff (2x)

F#5 (244xxx@1)            E5-F#5
There goes my baby
                     Ariff (x02220@1)There goes my only one
F#5 (244xxx@1)              E5-F#5
I think she loves me
                         Ariff (x02220@1)But she don't wanna let on
        F#5 (244xxx@1)
Yes she likes to keep my guessing
      B5She's (x244xx@1)got me on defense
          F#5With (244xxx@1)that little bit of mystery
        B5She's (x244xx@1)a complex kid

          D5 (xx023x@1)                          E5And (022xxx@1)she's always been so hard to figure out
         D5 (xx023x@1)                           E5 (022xxx@1)            Ariff (x02220@1)Yes, she always like to leave me with a shadow of a doubt

A riff

F#5 (244xxx@1)                E5-F#5
Sometimes at night, I
                            Ariff (x02220@1)Wait around 'til she gets out
F#5 (244xxx@1)                E5-F#5
She don't like workin'
                          Ariff (x02220@1)She says she hates her boss
          F#5But (244xxx@1)she's got me asking questions
      B5She's (x244xx@1)got me on defense
          F#5With (244xxx@1)that little certain something
        B5She's (x244xx@1)a complex kid

          D5 (xx023x@1)                        E5And (022xxx@1)she's always been so hard to get around
         D5 (xx023x@1)                            E5 (022xxx@1)            Ariff (x02220@1)Yes, she always likes to leave me with a shadow of a doubt

       DJust (xx0232@1)a shadow of a doubt
    F#mShe (244222@1)seldom keeps me running
    DI'm (xx0232@1)trying to figure out
         B5If (x244xx@1)she's leading up to something


Solo:  A riff (you figure out the notes Mike play)


F#5 (244xxx@1)                 E5-F#5
And when she's dreaming
                            Ariff (x02220@1)Sometimes she seems depressed
F#5 (244xxx@1)            E5-F#5
But in the morning
                    Ariff (x02220@1)She don't remember it
          F#5But (244xxx@1)she's got me thinking 'bout it
           B5Yes, (x244xx@1)she's got me on the edge
          F#5With (244xxx@1)that little bit of mystery
        B5She's (x244xx@1)a complex kid

          D5 (xx023x@1)                            B5And (x244xx@1)she's always been so hard to live without
         D5 (xx023x@1)                                           Ariff (x02220@1)Yes, she always like to leave me with a shadow of a doubt
