Subject: ONE STORY TOWN by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

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 -----------|------------------||

Please escuse the vulgar misinterpretations of the lyrics:

F#5

Yeah, I~ve been standing up

E5

I~ve been breaking free

F#5 E5 B5*

I don~t want fate handed down to me

F#5

Yeah, I~ve been moving on

E5

Try another town

F#5

Times ain~t changin~ nothing

E5 B5*

Take a look around

D5 A5 G5

I~m lost in a one story town

D5 A5 G5

Where everything~s close to the ground

G5 A5

Yeah, same shit goes down

G5 A5

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-.

I hope this has been help towards you.

Oh yeah! For the instrumental Mike's guitar just plays:

A -10--12--

E ---------

And that's about it.
