Note: There are more Tom Petty tabs on this site in the 'P' file under 'Petty Tom'.
There are quite a few tabs for this classic song but I'm pretty sure most of them,
which are tabbed in the key of D, are wrong. If you use standard tuning and place a
better.
Chords used:
FFsus4Csus4
I'm going to tab the song for guitar 1 as though the capoed third fret was the
guitar's open tuning. Guitar 2 is tabbed in standard tuning.
Guitar 1: Acoustic
Guitar 1 with a down strum on each chord only.

Lyrics:
An' it's a long day livin' in Reseda,
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard,
An' I'm a bad boy 'cause I don't even miss her,
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart.
Guitar 1 strums the chords in a different pattern but with exactly the same timing
and progression.

Yeah I'm fFreeFsus4! Fsus4 F Csus4

And all the vampires walking through the valley,
Move west down Ventura Boulevard,
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows,
And the good girls are at home with broken hearts.

Guitar 1 reverting to the single strum pattern
I wanna glide down over Mulholland,
I wanna write her name in the sky,
Gonna free fall out into nothing,
Gonna leave this world for a while.

The song finishes fading here. That's it! I hope it's not too messy and you can
understand how all those choruses go.
