Em    Emaj7          Em7           Em6
Eddie waited till he finished high school
Em         Emaj7      Em7      Em6
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
Am       Am/G               Am/F#       C/G
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
    G          Fadd9 C       G C G
The future was wide open.

Em         Emaj7            Em7        Em6
They moved into a place they both could afford
Em         Emaj7              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 C G (D)
The sky was the limit.

G        C          Dsus4    G          Em       D     Am
Into the great wide open,    under them skies of blue
G          C          Dsus4     G         F     Em     A
Out in the great wide open,    a rebel without a clue.

Guitarsolo: (I´m working on it)
Em         Emaj7               Em7        Em6
Em         Emaj7               Em7        Em6

The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the charts
The sky was the limit.

His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled.
Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single."
The future was wide open.

Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.

Into the great wide open,  under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.
