Tom Petty:
American girl
The apartment song
Breakdown
The best of everything
A change of heart
Depending on you
A face in the crowd
Feel a whole lot better
I won't back down
In the dark of the sun
Into the great white open
Learning to fly
Love is a long road
Rebels
Running down a dream
Southern accents
The waiting
Yer so bad
=====================================================

She tried to make my world

The way she tought it should be
G D A
Yeah we were desperate then
G D
To have each other to hold
A B E B E
But love is a long, long road
There were so many times
I would wake up at noon
With my head spinning 'round
I would wait for the moon
And give her one more chance
To try and save my soul
But love is a long, long road
Yeah it was hard to give up
Some things are hard to let go
Somethings are never enough
I guess I only can hope
For maybe one more chance
To try and save my soul
But love is a long, long road
RUNNIN' DOWN A DREAM - Petty

Yeah I'm runnin' down a dream
E G A
That never would come to me
A G E E G A
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
A G E
Runnin' down a dream
I felt so good like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last tree days the rain was un-stoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine
CHORUS

I put the pedal down to make some time
There's something good waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever's mine

out in the street, thinking out loud
A face in the crowd
=================================================================
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 Em? Em7 Em6
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 Em? Em7 Em6
Eddie waited till he finished high school
Em Em? Em7 Em6
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
G F C G C G
The future was wide open.
Em Em? Em7 Em6
They moved into a place they both could afford
Em Em? Em7 Em6
He found a nightclub he could work at the door
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
G F C G C G G C GD
The sky was the limit.
G C D(sus4) G Em D Am
Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue
G C D(sus4) G F Em A
Out 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.
