Eddie waited till he finished high school
Em         EmMaj7        Em7      Em6
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
Am       Am/G               Am/F#     Am/G
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
    G          F    C       G C G
The future was wide open.

Em         EmMaj7               Em7        Em6
They moved into a place they both could afford
Em         EmMaj7                Em7         Em6
He found a nightclub he could work at the door
Am        Am/G            Am/F#          Am/G
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
    G   F       C          G C G     G C G D
The sky was the limit.


[Chorus]

G        C          D(sus4)  G          Em       D     Am
Into the great wide open,    under them skies of blue
G          C          D(sus4)    G         F     Em     A
Out in the great wide open,    a rebel without a clue.


[Instrumental]
(play the intro riff and end with G then A - I think)


[Verse]

Em    EmMaj7            Em7           Em6
The papers said Ed always played from the heart
Em         EmMaj7        Em7      Em6
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
Am       Am/G               Am/F#     Am/G
They made a record and it went in the charts
    G          F    C       G C G
The sky was the limit.

Em         EmMaj7               Em7        Em6
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
Em         EmMaj7                Em7         Em6
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled.
Am/F#     Am/G            Am           Am/C
Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single."
    G   F       C          G C G     G C G D
The future was wide open.


[Chorus]

G        C          D(sus4)  G          Em       D     Am
Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue
G          C          D(sus4)    G         F     Em     A
Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.

G        C          D(sus4)  G          Em       D     Am
Into the great wide open,  under them skies of blue
G          C          D(sus4)    G         F     Em     A
Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.
