        LOVE IS A LONG ROAD - Petty

[B]  [A][E] [E]  [D][A]  [B]  [D][A]  [E]  [D][A]

[B] There was a girl [D]in [A]town
[E] She said she car[D]ed about [A]me
[B] She tried to make [D]my [A]world
[E] The way she tought [D]it should [A]be
[G] Yeah we were [D]desperate [A]then
[G] To have each o[D]ther to hold
 [A]But [B]lov[E]e is a [B]long, long [E]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

[A]Runnin' [G]down a [E]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

I rolled on as the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There's something good waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever's mine

        THE APARTMENT SONG - Petty

[A]I used to live in a two-room apartment
Neighbors knockin' [E]on my [A]wall

Times were hard I don't wanna knock it
I don't miss it [E]much at [A]all

[D] Oh [A]yeah [E]I'm al[A]right[D] I just [A]feel a little [E]lonely tonight
[D] I'm ok[A]ay [E]most of the t[A]ime[D] I just [A]feel a little [E]lonely to[A]night

I used to need your love so badly
Then I came to live with it
Lately I get a faraway feeling
And the whole thing starts again

(CHORUS and 2nd verse)

~Title:                 FEEL A WHOLE LOT BETTER            (Byrds,Gene Clark)
                                                                   1964
                [A]The reason why,  Oh I can't say
                I had to let you [E]go babe, And right a[F#m]way   [B]
                After what you [A]did,  I can't stay [D]on      [Bm]

                        [Bm]And I`ll probably [A]feel a whole lot [E]better
                        When you're [D]gone  [E]     [A]

                [A]Baby for a long time,  You had me believe
                That your love was all [E]mine, And that's the way it would [F#m]be   [B]
                [A]But I didn't know,  That you were puttin' me [D]on   [Bm]

                        [Bm]And I`ll probably [A]feel a whole lot [E]better
                        [E]When you're [D]gone,  [E]Oh when you're [A]gone

                [A]Now I got to say,  That it's not like before
                And I'm not gonna [E]play, You're game any [F#m]more   [B]
                [A]After what you did,  I can't stay [D]on   [Bm]

                        [Bm]And I`ll probably [A]feel a whole lot [E]better
                        [E]When you're [D]gone  [E]       [A]
                        [Bm]I`ll probably [A]feel a whole lot [E]better
                        [E]When you're [D]gone,  [E]Oh when you're [A]gone
                        [E]Oh when you're [A]gone         [G]            [A]               [G]                  [A]                     [G]                        [A]

after the  C GG's

Well I [C]fought [G]for you    [A]      [G]        [F]

              A Face In The Crowd - Tom Petty

it goes something like this  :-

Before All of [Em]this ever went d[C]own
in another [Em]place, another to[C]wn

you were [D]just a face in the [Am]crowd
you were [D]just a face in the [Am]crowd
out in the [Bm]street walking [Am]around a face in the [Em]crowd

out of a dream, out of the sky
into my heart, into my life
And you were just a face in the crowd
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]Eddie [Em]waited till he [Em7]finished high [Em6]school
[Em]He went to [Em]Hollywood, [Em7]got a tat[Em6]too
[Am]He met a [Am/G]girl out there with[Am/F#] a tattoo [Am/G]too
The [G]future was [F]wide [C]open.   [G]     [C]       [G]

[Em]They moved [Em]into a place they [Em7]both could [Em6]afford
[Em]He found a [Em]nightclub he could [Em7]work at the [Em6]door
[Am]She had a [Am/G]guitar and she t[Am/F#]aught him some [Am/G]chords
The [G]sky [F]was the [C]limit.     [G]       [C]         [G]               [G]                 [C]                   [G]                    [D]

[G]Into the [C]great wide [Dsus4]open,  [G]  under the[Em]m skies o[D]f blue[Am]
[G]Out in the [C]great wide [Dsus4]open,    [G]a rebel wi[F]thout [Em]a clue.[A]

(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].

~Subject: TAB: Learning To Fly (Tom Petty)

This is a pretty simple one 1 guitar plays the simple chord pattern

[F]  [C]  [Am]   [G]

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-----------------------
