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 EmMaj7 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---2--------------------------------------| on an acoustic 12 string (like TP's
a|---2----2---2---4--------------------------------------| nice Martin one ...) it sounds ok.
e|---0----0---0---0--------------------------------------|

Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue
