This is a great Tom Petty song and a great song for beginners who need to work on your strumming pattern. And after you've made your jugdement, please rate. D= down U= up So the song is in 4/4 beat and strumming pattern for the entire song is just: D U D U U D U 1 & 2 & (3)& 4 & So just take a brief pause on the 3 count and strum up on the & of the 3 count. So the strumming to the chords would be: D U D U U D U D U D U U D U 1 & 2 & (3)& 4 & 1 & 2 & (3)& 4 & C G Em D If you still have trouble with the strumming just listen to the song. So now to the song. Intro: C G Em D 2 times Verse 1: C G Em D Well I started out C G Em D down a dirty road C G Em D Started out C D Em D all alone Verse 2: C G Em D And the sun went down C G Em D as I crossed the hill C G Em D And the town lit up C D Em D the world got still Chorus 1: C G Em D I'm learning to fly C G Em D but I ain't got wings C G Em D Coming down C G Em D is the hardest thing Verse 3: C G Em D Well the good old days C G Em D may not return C G Em D And the rocks might melt C G Em D and the sea may burn Chorus 1 Solo (just repeat the intro) Verse 4: [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/tom-petty/188294.html ] C G Em D Well some say life C G Em D will beat you down C G Em D Break your heart C D Em D steal your crown Verse 5: C G Em D So I started out C G Em D for God knows where C G Em D I guess I'll know C D Em D when I get there Chorus 2: C G Em D I'm learning to fly C G Em D around the clouds C G Em D What goes up C G Em D must come down Bridge (just repeat the intro) Last Chorus: C G Em D I'm learning to fly C G Em D but I ain't got wings C G Em D Coming down C G Em D is the hardest thing C G Em D I'm learning to fly C G Em D around the clouds C G Em D What goes up C G Em D must come down C G Em D C G Em D I'm learning to fly C G Em D C G Em D I'm learning to fly (end on G) And that should be that for Learning to Fly by Tom Petty. One of these days I'll figure out that solo, but for now it works as a great solo acoustic song. And once again, please rate. -I hope you enjoy; my little droogies. |
