Highlighted Show chord diagrams
One of the better songs on "The Last DJ." I don't have any of the soloing, but the bulk the song is here. And the chord placements will match the timing with the lyrics, which is always nice, I think. A quick word on the four chord progression that is played right before and during the bridge -- you can play it as open chords, but I like to play it like this: e---3/5--5/7--7--5---| B---5/7--7/8--8--7---| G---5/7--7/9--9--7---| D---5/7--7/9--9--7---| A---3/5--5/7--7--5---| E--------------------| It just sounds more like the recording to me, especially with the slides. Also, you can mess around by picking the verse chords a bit. The most frequent example of this in the song sounds something like this: G D Em C e-------3-------2-------0-------0----| B-------3-------3-------0-------1----| G-------0-------2-------0-------0----| D-------0-----0---------2-----2------| A-----2---------------2-----3--------| E---3-------2-------0----------------| You can kind of make up your own stuff though, or just play the chords. It all sounds good. Here's the full song. G D Em C You never had a chance, did you babe? G D Em C So good looking, so insecure G D Em C And now you say you can't remember G D Em C-D-G-D When the lines you drew began to blur D G C-D-G-D And when all of this is over D G Should I lose you in the smoke C Em I want you to know C D C-D-G-D You were the one C G C G And may my love travel... with you everywhere C G Am G Baby, may my love travel... with you always (mini solo backed by D) [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/tom-petty/48025.html ] G D Em C Maggie's still tryin' to rope a tornado G D Em C Joe's in the backyard tryin' to keep things simple G D Em C And the lonely DJ's diggin' a ditch G D Em C-D-G-D Tryin' to keep the flames from the temple D G C-D-G-D Oh, and if perhaps I lose you D G In the smoke down the road. C Em I want you to know C D C-D-G-D You were the one. C G C G And may my love travel... with you everywhere C G Am G Yeah, may my love travel... with you always (mini solo backed by D) guitar solo) G D Em C How about a cheer for all those bad girls? G D Em C And all the boys that play that rock and roll. G D Em C They love it like you love Jesus. G D Em C-D-G-D It does the same thing to their souls D G C-D-G-D And when all of this is over D G Should I lose you in the smoke C Em I want you to know C D C-D-G-D You were the one C G C G And may my love travel... with you everywhere C G Am G Yeah, may my love travel... with you always C G C G Baby, may my love travel... with you everywhere C G Am G Yeah, may my love travel... with you always Am G Am G And fin.
