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 EmMaj7 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---2--------------------------------------| on an acoustic 12 string (like TP's
a|---2----2---2---4--------------------------------------| nice Martin one ...) it sounds ok.
e|---0----0---0---0--------------------------------------|

[Verse]

Em EmMaj7 Em7 Em6
Eddie waited till he finished high school
Em EmMaj7 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 EmMaj7 Em7 Em6
They moved into a place they both could afford
Em EmMaj7 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 G D
The sky was the limit.

[Chorus]

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.

[Instrumental]
(play the intro riff and end with G then A - I think)

[Verse]

Em EmMaj7 Em7 Em6
The papers said Ed always played from the heart
Em EmMaj7 Em7 Em6
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G
They made a record and it went in the charts
G F C G C G
The sky was the limit.

Em EmMaj7 Em7 Em6
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
Em EmMaj7 Em7 Em6
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled.
Am/F# Am/G Am Am/C
Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single."
G F C G C G G C G D
The future was wide open.

[Chorus]

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.

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.
