Free Fallin'
Tom Petty & Jeff Lynne

Tom Petty
Full Moon Fever
1989

I'm still looking for more acoustic songs to do,
and I had Tom's Greatest Hits hanging around and
I decided to check it out.  I came across this.
Then I figured it out in literally less than 1
minute.  Poor Tom didn't have much originality
on this one.  Hope you enjoy it!  Thanks to Andy
Mueller for the lyrics.

Capo 3rd

The intro looks like this (play twice):

   D     Dsus4         D   Dsus2       D     Dsus4         D   Dsus2
   +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +
e:-2-----3---------|-3-2---0---------|-2-----3---------|-3-2---0-------0-|
B:-3-----3---------|-3-3---3---------|-3-----3---------|-3-3---3-------3-|
G:-2-----2---------|-2-2---2---------|-2-----2---------|-2-2---2-------2-|
D:-0-----0---------|-0-0---0---------|-0-----0---------|-0-0---0-------0-|
A:-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E:-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|

The rest of the song goes like this (ad-lib rhythms, but keep chords the same):

   D     G             D   A           D     G             D   A
   +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +
e:-2-----3---------|-3-2---0---------|-2-----3---------|-3-2---0---------|
B:-3-----3---------|-3-3---2---------|-3-----3---------|-3-3---2---------|
G:-2-----0---------|-0-2---2---------|-2-----0---------|-0-2---2---------|
D:-0-----0---------|-0-0---2---------|-0-----0---------|-0-0---2---------|
A:-----------------|-------0---------|-----------------|-------0---------|
E:-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|

Play intro, then play the other tab for the rest of the song.

She's a good girl loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too

It's a long day livin' in Reseda
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
And I'm a bad boy 'cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

CHORUS
And I'm free, I'm free fallin'
And I'm free, I'm free fallin'


All the vampires walkin' through the valley
Move west down Ventura Boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows 
And the good girls are home with broken hearts


CHORUS


I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I wanna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for a while


CHORUS
