Here are the chords you’ll need to be able to play to pull off this song. The song is about an Indiana girl on an Indiana night.

I’m noting this because playing along with Petty’s version (if you’re in standard tuning) won’t sound quite right. This is likely because the recording was sped up in post-production (raising the pitch), or perhaps they simply all tuned their instruments a bit sharp for some reason. Can be used in FL Studio, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Reaper, Cubase, Propellerhead Reason, Logic, Sonar, Audacity software.
