Biography:
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers was a rock band formed in 1976 from Gainesville, Florida, USA and led by Tom Petty.
Petty was supported by his band, The Heartbreakers, for the majority of his career. He has occasionally released solo work, as was the case with his 2006 album Highway Companion on which he performed most of the backing instrumentation himself. However, members of The Heartbreakers have played on each of his solo albums and the band has always backed him when touring in support of those albums.

BAND: TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS
SONG: THE WAITING
YEAR: 1981
Album: HARD PROMISES
Note: Playing along with the song will give you a better idea of when to play each
chord, and how long to strum it. I try to make my tabs as close to the original recording as
possible (i.e. using the exact same chords the artist(s) did, so please give me feedback!)
