Chords for How to Play "Here Comes My Girl" by Tom Petty on Guitar

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
What's up guys?
It's Thomas from the Band Radius and we're breaking down Here Comes My Girl, Tom Petty.
Such an awesome song, super simple.
It's in A.
What we're doing is we're taking A and we're keeping A and we're going to give
B on top of it.
But we're keeping the A.
So we're doing A and then we're giving a gift of B and putting
it on top.
If that makes sense.
And then we just repeat it.
Then we go back to A and then give the B, but keep the A as well.
So let me explain.
So here's A. _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ We're going up to this chord.
What is this?
Well, it's [A] a B over A.
And we're going open on the A string.
Second fret, second fret, second fret, because that is A.
And then we're just sliding everything
up to [E] 4-4-4.
[A] But keeping open A.
[Bm] And here's the B.
Here's the 4-4-4 over [A] the A.
_ [A] _ _
So_
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ Man, that's it.
Super easy.
[A] And that is the verse. _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ Here [E] comes my girl. _
Okay? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ Okay?
[E] So pretty easy.
We're just going [E] from E.
This is open.
Second fret, second fret, one, open, open.
We're going from E to [A] A.
And [E] repeat that.
E _ to [A] A.
_ _ And then we [F#m] go F sharp minor, _ [F#] second fret 4-4 [F#m]-2-2-2.
And then [B] B, which is second fret 4-4-4.
We're going [F#m] from this [B] to this. _
_ Okay?
And you're just going to hold that B for three [E] bars.
So the chorus is E, _ _ _ [A] A, _ [E] E.
_ [Em] So [A] A, then F sharp minor, _ and then B.
[B] _ Just hold on the B.
_ _ _ _ Back to the A.
_ _ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [A]
It kind of does that rhythm. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _
_ Okay?
[D] And that's back to the verse.
And so you know the verse, you know the chorus,
[F#] and the only other part is the bridge.
So let's get to it.
_ F sharp. _
_ _ It's basically F sharp [F#] the whole time, but there's a cool rhythm.
So we'll break it down slow.
So it's like one, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ okay?
And it's palm muted.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] And I'm just on the second fret, and I'm just [E] pulling off on the open.
_ Now I'm all on the low string.
So we're going one.
_ _ _ Okay?
And then we end it with.
[E] _ So.
[F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] And then on top of that, _ _ _
we have a really cool riff, which is one, two.
[C#] _
_ [F#] _ _ _ So it comes in on three.
So one, two.
_ [F#] _ _ _ [B] _
And that [F#] is, we're on the B string,
we're doing a [C#] hammer on on the second fret,
and then we're also pulling [G] off,
and then [A#] putting third fret on the [F#] G string,
fourth fret on the D, and then [C#] open E.
_ One, two.
_ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] Trying to do them both at the same time is [F#] pretty tough,
but [Em] that is the bridge.
Boom, here [E] comes my girl.
Back to [A] the chorus.
Super easy.
And then you end on the A.
_ _ [Bm] Then B, or over the [A] A.
_ A.
_ [Bm] _ Back to the B, over the A.
_ [D#] That is it.
So [B] here comes my girl.
[A] I'll see you guys later.
Tom Petty, super simple.
That's why I love this guy.
Put his melodies and everything, make a song.
So you guys be inspired, write a song,
and you don't have to get super creative with your chord structure or timing.
I mean, you can do that as well.
_ That's the best thing.
There are no rules.
There are only guidelines.
If you wish.
I don't know.
I don't know.
So here we go, guys.
Super easy stuff.
Make a sweet melody.
Be simple with your chords.
Maybe all you need is just an A,
[B] and then a gift of B on top.
So we'll see you guys later.
And, uh_
Here comes my [E] girl.
[G] Oh, man.

All right, guys.
