BAND: TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS
SONG: THE WAITING
YEAR: 1981
Album: HARD PROMISES
Note: Playing along with the song will give you a better idea of when to play each 
chord, and how long to strum it.  I try to make my tabs as close to the original recording as 
possible (i.e. using the exact same chords the artist(s) did, so please give me feedback!)
