Tom Petty:
American Girl
The Apartment Song
Breakdown
The Best of Everything
A Change of Heart
Depending on You
A Face in the Crowd
Feel a Whole Lot Better
I Won't Back Down
In the Dark of the Sun
Into the Great Wide Open
Learning to Fly
Love is a Long Road
Rebels
Runnin' Down a Dream
Southern Accents
The Waiting
Yer So Bad

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

I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last tree days the rain was un-stoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine

I put the pedal down to make some time
There's something good waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever's mine

A Face In The Crowd - Tom Petty
it goes something like this :-
Before All of Emthis ever went dCown

out in the Bmstreet walking Amaround a face in the Emcrowd
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  Em? Em7  Em6  
Eddie waited till he finished high school
Em  Em? Em7  Em6  
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
AmHe met a Am/Ggirl out there with Am/F#a tattoo Am/Gtoo
The Gfuture was Fwide Copen.G  C  G  
Em  Em? Em7  Em6  
They moved into a place they both could afford
Em  Em? Em7  Em6  
He found a nightclub he could work at the door
AmShe had a Am/Gguitar and she tAm/F#aught him some Am/Gchords
G   F   C   G   C   G   G   CGD
The sky was the limit.
GInto the Cgreat wide D(sus4)open, Gunder them Emskies of DblueAm  
GOut in the Cgreat wide D(sus4)open, a Grebel withFout a Emclue.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.
