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.
