This song is actually written in Standard Tuning, however, prior to releasing it on the album
they sped the tape up. This caused the album version of the song to sound higher than it was
recorded to fix any mistakes made during the recording session. To fix this mistakes 
simply tune your guitar up 1/4 step or slightly higher: Sharpen each standard tuned
to about +40 or even +60 to be more precise. And boom,
you're now tuned up with Tom Petty. If you want the exact sound, BUY A VOX!

Guitar 1: Rhythm (Tom Petty)
Guitar 2: Lead (Mike Campbell)

Verse:    (x4)

Chorus    (x2)


Solo 1: (Tom Petty) Mike Campbell begged Tom Petty to play it so it's choppy and sounds
There are a lot of weird things that he throws into the basic solo I tabbed out so just
have fun with the Am Pentatonic scale.

Am     G     D     Am is played below the solo by Mike Campbell.
