Tom Petty - American Girl bass tab

(h=hammer-on)

(/ or \ = slide)

Standard Tuning

(note: in the beginning there is a long slide up the neck it goes like this....

(take your right hand and use your index and middle finger and put them on the 5th

(fret on the A and D string.....then slide up to the 12th fret.)

(push real hard and keep your left hand on the notes of the intro.....it takes practice)..... it should sound like a chord.
