Here's a slightly more tricky TP song - any suggestions or corrections
are most welcome. Anyway here comes my version of ...

INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN by TOM PETTY from the album of same name
=================================================================

The intro and first few bars of the verse seem to be the following:

    Em (022000@1)Em? Em7 Em6 (022020@1)e---0---------------------------------------------------|
b---0---------------------------------------------------|          The chord names are probably a bit
g---0---------------------------------------------------|                dodgy but - hey. If you play this
d---2----1---0--------                on an acoustic 12-| string (like TP's
a---2----2---2---4--------------------------------------|                nice Martin one ...) it sounds ok.
e---0----0---0---0--------------------------------------|

Em (022000@1)  Em?            Em7           Em6Eddie (022020@1)waited till he finished high school

G (320003@1)        C (x32010@1)        D(sus4)    G (320003@1)       F (133211@1)   Em (022000@1)   AOut (x02220@1)in the great wide open,    a rebel without a clue.


(instrum: play the intro riff and end with G then A - I think)

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.

final flourish: G C G   G C G.
