Tom Petty — Have Love Will Travel (ver 2) Chords

  Rate this tab:
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:

    G       D       Em      C
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.

G                 D                    Em      C
  You never had a chance, did you babe?
G         D               Em      C
  So good looking, so insecure
G             D               Em       C
  And now you say you can't remember
G                    D             Em      C—D—G—D
  When the lines you drew began to blur

D                         G       C—D—G—D
  And when all of this is over
D                          G
  Should I lose you in the smoke
    C           Em
  I want you to know
  C            D      C—D—G—D
  You were the one

          C       G                  C    G
  And may my love travel... with you everywhere
            C       G                  Am G
  Baby, may my love travel... with you always

(mini solo backed by D)

G                D                   Em    C
  Maggie's still tryin' to rope a tornado
G                  D                     Em            C
  Joe's in the backyard tryin' to keep things simple
G                D              Em       C
  And the lonely DJ's diggin' a ditch
G           D                        Em      C—D—G—D
  Tryin' to keep the flames from the temple


D                      G         C—D—G—D
  Oh, and if perhaps I lose you
D                       G
  In the smoke down the road.
    C           Em
  I want you to know
  C            D      C—D—G—D
  You were the one.

          C       G                  C    G
  And may my love travel... with you everywhere
            C       G                  Am G
  Yeah, may my love travel... with you always

guitar solo)

G             D                   Em          C
  How about a cheer for all those bad girls?
G             D                            Em     C
  And all the boys that play that rock and roll.
G             D              Em      C
  They love it like you love Jesus.
G                  D              Em     C—D—G—D
  It does the same thing to their souls

D                         G       C—D—G—D
  And when all of this is over
D                          G
  Should I lose you in the smoke
    C           Em
  I want you to know
  C            D      C—D—G—D
  You were the one

          C       G                  C    G
  And may my love travel... with you everywhere
            C       G                  Am G
  Yeah, may my love travel... with you always
            C       G                  C    G
  Baby, may my love travel... with you everywhere
            C       G                  Am G
  Yeah, may my love travel... with you always

Am   G    Am   G
