Tom Petty - Jefferson Jericho Blues Tab

MUSIC FYI: Mike Campbell, at the suggestion of Tom, used only a 1959 Gibson
Les Paul on MOJO, as opposed to his collection of Rickenbakers and

Hollowbodies, to mix up the sound of the record. I saw the Heartbreakers

live with CSN in 2010 and all of the MOJO tracks, along with all of the

Heartbreakers set, sounded absolutely phenomenal.

Old Tom Jefferson loved the little maid out back Midnight creeping out to the servant shack Kept his secret under the bed, wrapped in a burlap sack Well I drove all day and night out to Jericho But in my second mind I knew it was time to go Yeah and I still get nervous every time that bugle blow
