Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers — Have Love Will Travel
One of the better songs on "The Last DJ." I don't have any of the soloing, but the bulk
the song is here. And the chord placements will match the timing with the lyrics, which
is always nice, I think.
A quick word on the four chord progression that is played right before and during the
bridge -- you can play it as open chords, but I like to play it like this:
e---3/5--5/7--7--5---|
B---5/7--7/8--8--7---|
G---5/7--7/9--9--7---|
D---5/7--7/9--9--7---|
A---3/5--5/7--7--5---|
E--------------------|
It just sounds more like the recording to me, especially with the slides. Also, you can
mess around by picking the verse chords a bit. The most frequent example of this in the song
sounds something like this:
GDEC
e-------3-------2-------0-------0----|
B-------3-------3-------0-------1----|
G-------0-------2-------0-------0----|
D-------0-----0---------2-----2------|
A-----2---------------2-----3--------|
E---3-------2-------0----------------|
You can kind of make up your own stuff though, or just play the chords. It all sounds good.
Here's the full song.
GDCm
You never had a chance, did you babe?
GDEmC
So good looking, so insecure
GDEmC
And now you say you can't remember

GDEmC
Maggie's still tryin' to rope a tornado
GDEmC
Joe's in the backyard tryin' to keep things simple
GDEmC
And the lonely DJ's diggin' a ditch
GDEmC-D-G-D
Tryin' to keep the flames from the temple
DGC-D-G-D
Oh, and if perhaps I lose you

In the smoke down the road.

GDEmC
How about a cheer for all those bad girls?
GDEmC
And all the boys that play that rock and roll.
GDEmC
They love it like you love Jesus.
GDEmC-D-G-D
It does the same thing to their souls
DGC-D-G-D
And when all of this is over
DG
Should I lose you in the smoke
CEm
I want you to know
CDC-D-G-D
You were the one
CGCG
And may my love travel... with you everywhere
CGAmG
Yeah, may my love travel... with you always

CGAmG
Yeah, may my love travel... with you always
