Tom Petty - When The Time Comes Tab

                     When the Time Comes

Key song: E

Some chords are suspended (Gadd6, F#m7, Dadd2) but you can play them normally; besides,
i play the E chord without the G#:

E( I play it like this in the verse of this song, I think it sounds better)

g x
d 2

E Gadd6 This might sound strange, it might seem dumb F#m7 E Depends on the side that you take it in from E Gadd6 Depends on the time, depends on the day F#m7 E Depends on a lot of things, who can say

In this verse, you can play the chords as power chords:
