Subject: SHADOW OF A DOUBT by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Shadow of a Doubt (A Complex Kid)
-Tom Petty
Basically this song starts out with an A riff that is also played throughout
in the verses. I'm not too sure about the A riff, but this comes close:
A riff:
E -------------------|------------------||
B -5-5~--5---5-5-5~--|-5-5~--7-7-5------||
G -6-6~--6h7p6-6-6~--|-6-6~--7-7-6--6~--||
D -7-7~--7---7-7-7~--|-7-7~---------7~--||
A -0-0---0---0---0---|-0-0--------------||
E -------------------|------------------||
I hope that isn't too confusing. Anyway here is the actual song (in full):
