Great song by Tom Petty, I was disappointed with the version that is posted, despite having 5 stars
and some good comments I thought it was incomplete, messy, over complicated and a little inaccurate,
so I thought I'd post my version, it's easier to follow (I think) and is complete.
This is an easy song to play along to and great for a beginner.
Please feel free to rate, comment, criticise etc.
