Written by: Tom Petty
From: “Let Me Up (I've Had Enough)” (1987)
Tuning: Standard
Time signature: 3/4
With all the mandolins around, some of them might contain extra notes, 
especially some “d”. Another option to get the high d ringing throughout 
the song: transpse +5´and use a capo on the 7th fret.
