Something Big

by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers

Biography:

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers was a rock band formed in 1976 from Gainesville, Florida, USA and led by Tom Petty.

Petty was supported by his band, The Heartbreakers, for the majority of his career. He has occasionally released solo work, as was the case with his 2006 album Highway Companion on which he performed most of the backing instrumentation himself. However, members of The Heartbreakers have played on each of his solo albums and the band has always backed him when touring in support of those albums.

D5
Well it didn't feel like Sunday
D5
Didn't feel like June
D5/G
When he met his silent partner
D5/G D5
In that lonely corner room


F5 D5
That overlooked the marquee
F5 D5
Of the plaza all-a - dult
A7/E
And he was not lookin' for romance
Gadd9 G9/F D5 D5
Just someone he could trust
F5 D5
And it wasn't no way to carry on
F5 D5
It wasn't no way to live
A7/E
But he could put up with it for a little while
Gadd9 Gadd9/F D5
He was workin' on some - thing big

D5
Speedball rang the night clerk
D5
Said, " Send me up a drink"
D5/G
Now the night clerk said, "It's Sunday man
D5/G D5
Wait a minute, let me think"


F5 D5
"There' a little place out - side of town
F5 D5
Might still have some wine"
A7/E
Speedball said, "Forget it
Gadd9 Gadd9/F D5
Can I have an outside line?"
F5 D5
And it wasn't no way to carry on
F5 D5
It wasn't no way to live
A7/E
But he could put up with it for a little while
Gadd9 Gadd9/F D5
He was workin' on some - thing big

D5
It was Monday when the day maids
D5
Found the still made bed
D5/G
All except the pillows
D5 D5
That lay stacked up at the head


F5 D5
And one said, "I know I've seen his face,
F5 D5
I wonder who he is"
A7/E
And the other said, "Probably it's just another clown
Gadd9 Gadd9/F D5
Workin' on some - thing big"
F5 D5
And it wasn't no way to carry on
F5 D5
It wasn't no way to live
A7/E
But he could put up with it for a little while
