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---- Eddie waited till he finished high school He went to Hollywood got a tattoo He met a girl out there with a tattoo too The future was wide open. They moved into a place they both could afford He found a nightclub he could work at the door She had a guitar and she taught him some chords The sky was the limit. Into the great wide open under them skies of blue 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: . ------------------------------------------------------ ~Subject: TAB: Learning To Fly (Tom Petty) This is a pretty simple one 1 guitar plays the simple chord pattern The other guitar plays this little riff: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------1---1-----1---1--0--1-0-1----1--1---1----1-----1-0--1-0-1 -2-0----0---0-0---0-------------2-0--0-0-0---0----0----------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
