Song
A One Story Town
(words & music by Tom Petty)
The intro is: B5* (the bass occasionally plays an A and hammers on a B note,
you can hear it in the song).
The intro riff is:
e|-----------|------------------| B|-----------|---------------7--| G|-9--8h9p8--|-----9--8---------| D|-----------|-7----------9-----| A|-----------|------------------| E|-----------|------------------|
Yeah, I~ve been standing up
I~ve been breaking free
F#5 E5 B5*
I don~t want fate handed down to me
Yeah, I~ve been moving on
Try another town
Times ain~t changin~ nothing
E5 B5*
Take a look around
I~m lost in a one story town
Where everything~s close to the ground
Yeah, same shit goes down
Nothing turns around
G5 A5 B5*
It~s a one story town
She was over seventeen when I held her to her word
Had to push her luck
Thought she couldn~t breathe
No it didn~t hurt me when she had to leave
She had a far away feeling
Wasn~t part of me
I~m lost in a one story town
Where everything~s close to the ground
Yeah, same shit goes down
Nothing turns around
It~s a one story town
Instrumental: A5, A5, A5....B5
Yeah, I~m lost in a one story town
Where everything~s close to the ground
Yeah, same shit goes down
Nothing turns around
It~s a one story town
Ending: B5*
Those high guitar parts for the chorus are:
X Y
e|-----17--14---------|-5h7p5----------8h10p8-| B|-15----------15-----|-----------------------| G|-----------------16-|-----------------------| D|--------------------|-----------------------| A|--------------------|-----------------------| E|--------------------|-----------------------|
-X- is played sometimes during the first half of the chorus and -Y- is played
after that part where Petty sings -same shit goes down-.
Oh yeah! For the instrumental Mike's guitar just plays:
A -10--12--| E ---------|
And that's about it.
