Chords for How to Play "Face In the Crowd" by Tom Petty on Guitar

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ A Face in the Crowd!
What's up guys?
A little Tom Petty for you.
I'm Thomas from the band Radius and we are breaking down A Face in the Crowd.
I love this song, super easy, super mellow, you know, very mellow Tom Petty song and the
chords are super simple.
_ So _ it starts off with probably my favorite chord ever in the world and I kind of don't
want to share it with you guys because I want to keep it to myself, all to myself.
But _ _ I'm going to share it for you because I want you to write your own songs with it.
I don't even know what this chord is called.
It's sweet though, okay?
_ And I've got to figure out how to put my fingers.
It's pretty tough to play.
_ But it sounds something _ like _ _ _ _ this. _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] How beautiful is that?
_ [G] _ _
_ And the song starts off like this, _ [Bm] okay?
And what it is, is it's 9th fret _ on the D string, _ [Em] _ _ [Ab] _ 11th fret on the G string, and I'm
playing that with my [G] pinky, _ _ _ 8th fret _ on the B string, and _ _ 10th fret on _ the ring. _
_ _ _ _ _ And that is how the song starts off.
Man, so sweet.
_ And [Bb] then it [Em] goes. _ _
_ _ _ E minor, open, two, two, open, open, open. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ To C, [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ and [Em] repeat. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ And that is our verse.
That's it.
_ And there's a really cool guitar part which comes in like [G] this.
[Gb] _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And then the C [Gb] chord happens, [G] _
_ [D] _ and he just repeats this.
[Gb] And it's 4th fret on the D string, [Gm] open G, _ _ _ _ 3rd fret on the B.
_ So, let's see [E] if I can play the bass with that.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ It goes to C.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ That way you just kind of hear the bass of [Em] how it sounds. _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ Oh man, so beautiful.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ Beautiful dissonances in [Em] this.
But super mellow.
E minor to C.
_ _ _ [C] _ _
Okay?
_ And this brings us [Em]
to _ _ the _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ chorus. _ _ _
_ _ You [D] were just _ playing the D here.
_ D, _ _ _ _ going to [Am] A minor.
_ _ _ _ I'm going to repeat this.
[G] You [D] were just _ _ _ _ _ _ _ facing the [Am] path _ _ _ _ _ _ out in the [B] street.
[G] _ This is going to be basically a G chord, but I'm going to play the B [B] as the root.
_ [G] So, [B] 2nd fret on the A [G] string, open, open, 3, 3. _ _ _ _
_ _ And then back to A minor.
_ [Am]
So, I'm just going to sub _ basically a [D] 3rd time instead of playing the D.
[Am] _ _ [D] I do [Am] a D to A [D] minor, D [Am] to A minor, and then instead of going to D,
I'm going to do [G] this weird _ B, G with the B in the bass,
and then just back to [Am] A minor. _
_ _ _ And then the 4th time I just go [Em] E minor, _ _ _ back to C.
_ [C] _ _ _ Which you know.
So, super simple [Bb] song.
_ _ [Gb] Cool chords, very dissonant. _
_ [Gm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
And then this sweet chord [Bb] that takes me forever to land my fingers
because I can't quite remember how it goes.
And it's super awesome.
And here.
_ _ [Db] Wait, that's not even it.
How does it go?
It goes.
[Eb] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ That's why I didn't want to teach it to [Eb] you guys
because I can't even [Bb] remember it myself.
Here we go.
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
Nope, that's not it.
_ _ [Gbm] Jesus. _
_ [C] I can't even remember it.
_ [G]
Oh man, it's so sweet.
Oh, here it is.
[Bm] Wait. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Oh, that's it.
_ _ [B] That is it.
Oh man.
Okay, so.
_ _ [G] Wait.
_ There it is. _ _ _ _
Tom Petty, you're so sneaky.
_ Okay, here it is.
[B] You guys don't forget this.
It is the _ _ _ 9th fret of the D string.
We're basically doing a 5th.
That's how I can remember it.
_ [G] And then _ _ _ another 5th.
So it's like a 5th on top of [B] a 5th.
[G] But with _ _ a dissonance right there.
[Em] _ _ _ _ _
And then you can even play the low E.
It's some minor 9 of some sort.
_ _ Oh man, Tom Petty, you almost got me.
[Bm] You almost got me.
[G] Facing the crowd.
_ That is it, guys. _ _
_ [Em] And man, there's nothing else I can teach you
other than try to remember your chords.
No, I'm just kidding, guys. _
