From: * (Tomas Aronsson)
American girl
The apartment song
Breakdown
The best of everything
A change of heart
Depending on you
A face in the crowd
Feel a whole lot better
I won't back down
In the dark of the sun
Into the great white open
Learning to fly
Love is a long road
Rebels
Running down a dream
Southern accents
The waiting
Yer so bad

LOVE IS A LONG ROAD - Petty
===========================
Intro: BAEEDABDAEDABDA
There was a girl in town
EDA
She said she cared about me
BDA
She tried to make my world
EDA
The way she tought it should be
GDA
Yeah we were desperate then
GD
To have each other to hold
ABEBE
But love is a long, long road
There were so many times
I would wake up at noon
With my head spinning 'round
I would wait for the moon
And give her one more chance
To try and save my soul
But love is a long, long road
Yeah it was hard to give up
Some things are hard to let go
Somethings are never enough
I guess I only can hope
For maybe one more chance
To try and save my soul
But love is a long, long road
RUNNIN' DOWN A DREAM - Petty

EGA
That never would come to me
AGEEGA
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
AGE
Runnin' down a dream
I felt so good like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last tree days the rain was un-stoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine
CHORUS
I rolled on as the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There's something good waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever's mine

And you were just a face in the crowd
out in the street, thinking out loud
A face in the crowd
=================================================================
The intro and first few bars of the verse seem to be the following:
EmEm? Em7Em6e---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
GFCGCGGCGD
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.
final flourish: G C G G C G.
------------------------------------------------------
This is a pretty simple one 1 guitar plays the simple chord pattern
FCAmG
The other guitar plays this little riff:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
------1---1-----1---1--0--1-0-1----1--1---1----1-----1-0--1-0-1-------------|
-2-0----0---0-0---0-------------2-0--0-0-0---0----0-------------------------|
