Intro

Verse 1
Eddie waited till he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
The future was wide open
They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a nightclub he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
The sky was the limit
Chorus
Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue
Solo
Em EmMaj7 Em7 Em6 x2
Verse 2
The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the charts
The sky was the limit.
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single."
The future was wide open
Chorus
Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue
Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue
Into the great wide open, a rebel without a clue
