Hello, I'm NickStratoStyle and I'm going to show you how to play the song "When the Time Comes" by Tom Petty. I hope you find this tab accurate,( this song is a little bit strange) but I think is correct, so... let's rock!! (Sorry for my english, i know it isn't very fluent, i hope you'll understand anyway.) 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) e-0| b-0| g-x| d-2| a-2| E-0| Gadd6: F#m7: Dadd2 e-0| e-0| e-0| b-3| b-2| b-3| g-0| g-2| g-2| d-0| d-4| d-0| a-2| a-x| a-0| E-3| E-x| E-x| INTRO: Guitar 1: E | Gadd6 | F#m7 | E | E | Gadd6 | F#m7 | E | e-----------------------------------------------------------------| b-----------------------------------------------------------------| g---------7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6------------------7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6--------| d---------5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2| a---------5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2| E-0-0-0-0-----------------0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-----------------0-0-0-0| Guitar 2: e---------------------------------------0------0-------0-------0--| b----------------------------------0-0---0-3-----3-2-----2-0-0----| g-------------------------------------------0-------2-------------| d-----------------------------------2--------0-------4------2-----| a-----------------------------------------------------------------| E-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------------------------------| (Palm mute ) Verse: During the verse, the guitar plays like this: E | Gadd6 | F#m7 | E | e-----------------------------------| b-----------------------------------| g----------7---7---6---6---4--------| d-2---2----5---5---4---4---2--------| a-2---2----5---5---4---4---2--------| E-0---0-----------------------------|
ThisE might sound strange, Gadd6it might seem dumb DepF#m7ends on the side that you tEake it in from DepeEnds on the time, deGadd6pends on the day DF#m7epends on a lot of things, Ewho can say
In this verse, you can play the chords as power chords:
