Tom Petty's cover of Thunderclap Newman's "something in the air". I learned this
song a couple months ago and by listening to the album I know it is about 100% correct.
Great song and easy. Enjoy
Standard tuning EADGBe
The song uses basic chords

Call out the instigator
Because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here
And you know it's right
Fill A- play this twice. this little piece can be a little bit tricky but it sounds good

Run through the fields and houses
Because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here
And you know it's right
Fill A 2x
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now
