Have Love Will Travel by Tom Petty
Have Love Will Travel
G Em
You never had a chance - Did you baby?
G Em
So good looking, so insecure.
G Em
and now you say you can't remember
G Em
when the lines you drew began to blur. C-Am-C-D
D G
Yeah, When all of this is over C-Am-C-D
D G
should I lose you in the smoke
Em C
I want you to know
C D
You were the one. C-Am-C-D
(chorus)
C G C G
And may my love travel - with you everywhere.
C G
Baby, may my love travel
Am G
with you always.
G Em
Maggie's still trying to rope a tornado.
G Em
Joe's in the backyard trying to keep things simple.
G Em G
And the lonely DJ's digging a ditch trying to keep the flames
Em C-Am-C-D
from the temple.
D G C-Am-C-D
Oh, and if perhaps I lose you
G
in the smoke down the road.
Em C
I want you to know
C D C-Am-C-D
You were the one.
(repeat chorus) Then (guitar solo)
G Em
How about a cheer for all those bad girls?
G Em
And all those boys that play that Rock N Roll.
G Em
They love it like you love Jesus.
G
It does the same thing
Em C-Am-C-D
to their souls.
D G C-Am-C-D G
And when all of this is over - should I lose you in the smoke.
Em C
I want you to know
D C-Am-C-D
you were the one.
(chorus) 2X
Note: I'm not a 100% sure on that 4 step change (C-Am-C-D)

version 2
A quick word on the four chord progression that is played right before and during the
bridge -- you can play it as open chords, but I like to play it like this:
e---3/5--5/7--7--5---|
B---5/7--7/8--8--7---|
G---5/7--7/9--9--7---|
D---5/7--7/9--9--7---|
A---3/5--5/7--7--5---|
E--------------------|
It just sounds more like the recording to me, especially with the slides. Also, you can
mess around by picking the verse chords a bit. The most frequent example of this in the song
sounds something like this:
G D Em C
e-------3-------2-------0-------0----|
B-------3-------3-------0-------1----|
G-------0-------2-------0-------0----|
D-------0-----0---------2-----2------|
A-----2---------------2-----3--------|
E---3-------2-------0----------------|
You can kind of make up your own stuff though, or just play the chords. It all sounds good.
Here's the full song.
