“Good Enough”
Tom Petty & The HeartbreakersINTRO: Em Am C B Em C#m Bbm Gm – F#m - Em
Em
She was hell on her mama, impossible to please;
Am
She wore out her daddy, got the best of me.
C B
And there’s something about her that only I can see,
B Em C - B
And that’s good enough.You’re barefoot in the grass, and you’re chewin’ sugarcane.
You got a little buzz on; you’re kissin’ in the rain.
And if a day like this don’t ever come again,
That’s good enough.C B A - G - F#
Good enough for me; good enough for right now, yeah.
Good enough for me; good enough for right now, yeah.SOLO: Em Am C B Em C#m Bbm Gm – F#m - Em
God bless this land, God bless this whiskey.
I can’t trust love: it’s far too risky.
If she marries into money, she’s still gonna miss me,
And that’s good enough. Gonna have to be good enough…SOLO: Em Am C B Em C#m Bbm Gm – F#m - Em (x2)
OUTRO: Em C#m Bbm Gm – F#m - Em (x6)

“Into the Great Wide Open” (Tom Petty acoustic rock cover song) – The Guest Sessions

My cover of “Into the Great Wide Open” by Tom Petty. I play the main verse pretty much the way Petty does, as far as I can hear. I’ve re-arranged the chorus section a bit to try to closer mimic the multiple instrumental layers you hear on the album.
** EDITOR’S NOTE **
The title track to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ 1991 album of the same name, “Into the Great Wide Open” may not have topped the charts, but is an excellent song that deserves appreciation. Even though it fell a full sixty-four slots shy of its predecessor “Learning to Fly,” Petty did manage to produce an outstanding music video for this song. And it even starred a young Johnny Depp as Eddie Rebel with supporting roles by Chynna Phillips (of Wilson Phillips), and Matt LeBlanc (of Friends fame).
They truly don’t make music videos like this anymore, so if you haven’t seen it, you should really take the time to do so. Go ahead, that’s what YouTube is for, right?
What makes “Into the Great Wide Open” such an excellent candidate for an acoustic cover? Well, there’s the catchy, powerful acoustic strumming before the chorus, never mind the fact that this is certainly a song that comes across well when played with a minimal arrangement.
As per usual, Jeremy has demonstrated great taste and considerable ability in his performance of this Tom Petty classic. I had forgotten how much I love this song and this album, and I’ve already watched Jeremy’s video several times over the past few days, enjoying this stripped down rendition. On behalf of the Laptop Sessions, I thank Jeremy for yet another wonderful video. Here’s to many more in 2010!

“The Last DJ” (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Acoustic Cover Video) – The Laptop Sessions
Saturday, October 11th, 2008
By Jeff Copperthite:
Good evening to you, and welcome to your Saturday edition of The Laptop Sessions! Tonight we (finally) return to our regularly scheduled…well, schedule…and we are now posting on nights we were originally scheduled to post.
That being said, sorry, no new band tonight.
Instead, it’s one we haven’t covered in some time – Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers! From their 2002 album “The Last DJ” is the title track from that album. I first heard this particular song via (who else) Jim, and I have always been a fan of Tom Petty’s work thanks to my brother. This is the 3rd song I have covered from this band.
Oddly enough, I think it’s a great cover, and I think the other two are good as well. It’s a great song to cover on acoustic since the driving track is acoustic on the song. You have to love the chorus and the message of the song as well.
I think the higher quality I get on my new laptop has been tremendous during the past 3 months, though. If you view the videos through Youtube, you will see the “watch in higher quality” button and that will make it sound even better!
Be sure to come back tomorrow for another awesome Jim Fusco acoustic cover song!

“Saving Grace” (Tom Petty Acoustic Rock Cover Song) – The Laptop Sessions
Saturday, May 17th, 2008
By Jeff Copperthite:
It has been a great week here at laptopsessions.com’s Track 1 week. I had the privilege of opening it up with a U2 video that many have not found due to uploading difficulties. Thankfully, Chris & Jim have posted four awesome album openers during the week, and my U2 video is finally getting some more views.
Now I get to close out Track 1 week with what is probably going to be one of my favorite performances. I am going into the library of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and performing “Saving Grace” from their most recent album “Highway Companion”. I love the bluesy guitar riff and Tom Petty’s lyrical style. We also have this in the live library for The Laptop Sessions Live tour. We did play it at Testa’s back on April 12.
Speaking of the tour, we were on fire last night with our most recent live show at George’s II. There will be audio and pictures to come from that in the near future. If you’re a friend of mine on Facebook, though, you can see 5 images from the show right now.
I want to point out that I used to think/was taught that the instrumental riff went E-B-A-G, but upon closer listening to the song (oh, about 22 times), I figured out it actually is E-Bb-A-G, but the B chord going into the last verse is the correct chord.
This concludes track 1 week. We hope you enjoy it and in 2 weeks we get to break out another special week for you. Thank you again for being a regular visitor of laptopsessions.com!
Come on back tomorrow for another great session by Jim Fusco himself!
