e---0----------------- 
b---0----------------- The chord names are probably a bit 
g---0----------------- dodgy but - hey. If you play this 
d---2----1---0-------- on an acoustic 12 string (like TP‘s 
a---2----2---2---4---- nice Martin one ...) it sounds ok.

Eddie waited till he finished high school 
Em Em? Em7 Em6 
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo 
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G 
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too

The future was wide open.

They moved into a place they both could afford 
Em Em? Em7 Em6 
He found a nightclub he could work at the door 
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G 
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords 
G F C G C G G C GD 
The sky was the limit. 
 
G C D(sus4) G Em D Am 
Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue 
G C D(sus4) G F Em A 
Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue. 
 
 
(instrum: play the intro riff and end with G then A - I think) 
 
The papers said Ed always played from the heart 
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart 
They made a record and it went in the charts 
The sky was the limit. 
 
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle 
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled. 
Their A&R man said "I don‘t hear a single." 
The future was wide open. 
 
Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue 
Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue. 
 
Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue 
Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue. 
 
final flourish: G C G G C G.
