Free Fallin'
Tom Petty
Full Moon Fever (1989)

I saw an old SNL with Tom doing this song, and I checked it against the
recorded version to make sure it matched up right.

Capo: 1st fret (all chords are in relation to the first fret)

The pattern is E Asus4 E Bsus/addE throughout the whole song (verses and
refrain)

E 022100
Asus4 002200
Bsus/addE 224400

Lyrics:
She's a good girl, loves ...

It's a long day livin' in ...

Chorus:
And I'm free, I'm free f...

All the vampires walkin' through ...

Repeat Chorus

Do this little thing:

E -4----4-2---0-2-0--

right before the backing vocals go "Free fallin, yeah I'm free fallin" twice
after the chorus right before the next verse.

I wanna glide down over ...

Chorus

Right before they do the chorus a second time, they play the chord forms as
barres:

E5 A5 B5 A5

where:
E5 = 022---
A5 = 577---
B5 = 799---
