Song

Shadow of a Doubt (A Complex Kid)
-Tom Petty
Basically this song starts out with an A riff that is also played throughout
in the verses. I'm not too sure about the A riff, but this comes close:
A riff:
e|-------------------|------------------||
B|-5-5~--5---5-5-5~--|-5-5~--7-7-5------||
G|-6-6~--6h7p6-6-6~--|-6-6~--7-7-6--6~--||
D|-7-7~--7---7-7-7~--|-7-7~---------7~--||
A|-0-0---0---0---0---|-0-0--------------||
E|-------------------|------------------||
I hope that isn't too confusing. Anyway here is the actual song (in full):
Intro: A riff (2x)
F#5 E5-F#5
There goes my baby
A riff
There goes my only one
F#5 E5-F#5
I think she loves me
A riff
But she don't wanna let on
Yes she likes to keep my guessing
She's got me on defense
With that little bit of mystery
She's a complex kid
And she's always been so hard to figure out
D5 E5 A riff
Yes, she always like to leave me with a shadow of a doubt
A riff
F#5 E5-F#5
Sometimes at night, I
A riff
Wait around 'til she gets out
F#5 E5-F#5
She don't like workin'
A riff
She says she hates her boss
But she's got me asking questions
She's got me on defense
With that little certain something
She's a complex kid
And she's always been so hard to get around
D5 E5 A riff
Yes, she always likes to leave me with a shadow of a doubt
Just a shadow of a doubt
She seldom keeps me running
I'm trying to figure out
If she's leading up to something
Solo: A riff (you figure out the notes Mike play)
F#5 E5-F#5
And when she's dreaming
A riff
Sometimes she seems depressed
F#5 E5-F#5
But in the morning
A riff
She don't remember it
But she's got me thinking 'bout it
Yes, she's got me on the edge
With that little bit of mystery
She's a complex kid
And she's always been so hard to live without
D5 A riff
Yes, she always like to leave me with a shadow of a doubt
A riff
