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:  B  AE E  DA  B  DA  E  DA


B                 D  A
 There was a girl in town
E                D        A
 She said she cared about me
B                  D  A
 She tried to make my world
E                   D         A
 The way she tought it should be
G             D         A
 Yeah we were desperate then
G              D
 To have each other to hold
 A   B  E      B          E
 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
        ============================


         E
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat
 down
          D                   E
I had the radio on. I was drivin'
Trees flew by, me and Del was 
               D
singin' little runaway
      E
I was flyin'


CHORUS
         A       G      E
Yeah I'm runnin' down a dream
     E           G       A
That never would come to me
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
A            G    E   E         
Workin' on a mystery, goin' 
 G      A
wherever it leads
A       G      E
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

        ==========================


A
I used to live in a two-room 
apartment
                   E     A
Neighbors knockin' on my wall

Times were hard I don't wanna knock 
it
                E       A
I don't miss it much at all


CHORUS
D   A    E     A    D       A
 Oh yeah I'm alright I just 
             E
feel a little lonely tonight
D      A  E            A  D    
 I'm okay most of the time I 
   A             E        A
just feel a little lonely tonight


I used to need your love so badly
Then I came to live with it
Lately I get a faraway feeling
And the whole thing starts again


(CHORUS and 2nd verse)

                The reason why,  Oh 
I can't say
                                 E 
                I had to let you go

                        Bm      
                        And I`ll

probably feel a whole lot better
                        When you're 
D     E  A
gone

                A
                Baby for a long 
time,  You had me believe
                That your love was 
    E                          
all mine, And that's the way it 
       F#m  B
would be
                A                  
                But I didn't know, 
                          D    Bm
 That you were puttin' me on

                        Bm      
                        And I`ll 
          A                E
probably feel a whole lot better
                        E          
                        When you're
 D      E              A
 gone,  Oh when you're gone

                A
                Now I got to say,  
That it's not like before
                And I'm not gonna 
E                     F#m    B
play, You're game any more
                A                  
                After what you did,
               D    Bm
  I can't stay on

                        Bm      
                        And I`ll

probably feel a whole lot better
                        E          
                        When you're

=================================================


it goes something like this  :-


              Em              C
Before All of this ever went down
           Em               C
in another place, another town

         D                  Am
you were just a face in the crowd
         D                  Am
you were just a face in the crowd
           Bm             Am      
out in the street walking around a
             Em
 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

 bit       
play this  
           
sounds ok. 
           

Em    Em?            Em7         
Eddie waited till he finished 
  Em6
high school
Em         Em?        Em7      Em6
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
Am       Am/G               
He met a girl out there with
Am/F#     Am/G
 a tattoo too
    G          F    C       G C G
The future was wide open.

Em         Em?               Em7
They moved into a place they 
        Em6
both could afford
Em         Em?                
He found a nightclub he could 
Em7         Em6
work at the door
Am        Am/G            Am/F# 
She had a guitar and she taught 
         Am/G
him some chords
    G   F       C          G C 
The sky was the limit.
G     G C GD


G        C          D(sus4)  G 
Into the great wide open,    
         Em       D     Am
under them skies of blue
G          C          D(sus4)    
Out in the great wide open,    a 
G         F     Em     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

F  C  Am   G

The other guitar plays this little 
riff:

-2-0----0---0-0---0-------------2-
