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):
