Tom Petty, conhecido nos primeiros anos como Tommy, nasceu em Gainesville, Flórida e cresceu no nordeste de Gainesville. Já adolescente, músico amador, ele freqüentemente praticava em casa com amigos. Graduou-se na Gainesville High School em 1968. Petty não tinha inspirações musicais até que Elvis Presley se dirigiu à Ocala, Flórida, 25 milhas ao sul da cidade de Petty, para trabalhar no filme Follow That Dream. Petty foi para a cidade ver Elvis e se inspirou.

Hello Everybody!:-) This is my second Stab at transcibing music, and I think this one is great. Well, here is another stab at another great tune of Tom's Petty's "A HIGHER PLACE"
first off, you only have to use 3 chords for the majority of the song. they are:
(that's the fret's you have to hold, you play around with the fingering with your liking:-)
here is how you would start off the begining on an acoustic guitar.
EAsus2Dsus2Asus2EAsus2Dsus2
that's the beginning! I don't have the cd on me right now, but if you know the song, you probably know the rythym!!!!
Here Are the lyrics! p.s. there are a few other chords, you probably know them though!
VERSE 1:
We Gotta get to a higher place and we gotta leave by night. Before that river takes us down we gotta find somwhere that's dry We gotta run like we never run, or we're gonna lose the light. We Don't get to a higher place and find somebody, can help somebody, might be nobody no more We gotta get to a higher place and i hope we all arrive together. we gotta get to a higher place if we wanna survive the weather)
VERSE 2:
(Well, i fool myself and i don't know why I thought we could ride this out I was up all night making up my mind But now i got my doubts I got my eye on the waterline Trying to keep my sense of humor)
VERSE 3:
(I remember walking with her in town, Her hair was in the wind I gave her my best kiss She gave it back again When i add up what I've left behind I don't want to lose no more)
