A Face In The Crowd - Tom Petty
it goes something like this :-
EmC Before All of this ever went down EmC in another place, another town
DAm you were just a face in the crowd DAm you were just a face in the crowd BmAmEm out in the street walking around a face in the 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:
EmEm? Em7Em6
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----
EmEm? Em7Em6 Eddie waited till he finished high school EmEm? Em7Em6 He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo AmAm/GAm/F#Am/G He met a girl out there with a tattoo too GFCGCG The future was wide open.
EmEm? Em7Em6 They moved into a place they both could afford EmEm? Em7Em6 He found a nightclub he could work at the door AmAm/GAm/F#Am/G She had a guitar and she taught him some chords GFCGCGGC GD The sky was the limit.
GCD(sus4)GEmDAm Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue GCD(sus4)GFEmA Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.
(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.
