Walls - Tom Petty - Capo 3
[Verse 1]
DSome days are diamonds       BmSome days are rocks
GSome doors are open          ASome roads are blocked
DSundowns are golden          BmThen fade away
GAnd if I never do nothing    AI'll get you back some day
[Chorus]
 N.C.                   G                    D            G  D  
Cause you got a heart so big       It could crush this town
And I can't hEmold out forBmever        Even Awalls fall Ddown
(Keep putting on and taking off 4th finger on 3rd fret, while playing the D, on the high 
e string to make it sound better after "Even walls fall down.)
[Verse 2]
DAnd all around your island       BmThere's a barricade
GIt keeps out the danger          AIt holds in the pain
DSometimes you're happy           BmSometimes you cry
GHalf of me is ocean              AHalf of me is sky
[Chorus]
 N.C.                 G                    D            G  D
