done by me.  It is the thirteenth song off of -Wildflowers-.  This was
probably one of the first songs I grew to love on the album.  It took me a
while to figure out this song but after figuring it out, it is interesting 
grandiose songwriting approach.  I have done the bass tab for it because 
the bass line walks during the second half of the verse.  The basic bassline
(with the chords on top) is:


(BASSLINE 1)

   F     C      Eb    Bb     Dm    Am     C     G      

G ------------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
D -3----------|-1----------|-0----------|------------|------------|
A -------3----|-------1----|-------0----|-3----------|------------|
E ------------|------------|------------|-------3----|-3-----3----|


               (BASSLINE 2)

                F     C      Eb    Bb     Dm    Am    C      G

G ------------|---0-2------|---0-3------|------------|------------|
D ------------|-3-------0-2|-1-------0-3|-0-2-3------|---2-0------|
A ------------|-------3----|-------1----|-------0-2-3|-3----------|
E -3-----3----|------------|------------|------------|-------3----|


G ------------|------------|
D ------------|------------|
A ------------|------------|
E -3-----3----|-3-----3----|



The single guitar note that is played is just this:

E -1-----0----|------------|------------|------------|
B ------------|-4-----3----|-3----------|-1----------|
G ------------|------------|-------2----|-------0----| (all notes are
D ------------|------------|------------|------------|  vibrato, of course)
A ------------|------------|------------|------------|
E ------------|------------|------------|------------|



Those are the single guitar and basslines for the verse.  The song begins 
with bassline number 1 and plays it two times.  Then when Petty starts 	
singing, bassline number 1 is played once then bassline number 2 is 	
played.  Then the chorus follows which is:


   C     G      C     G      C     G      Em    A      C     G

G ------------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
D ------------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
A -3---2-----2|-3---2-----2|-3---2------|-------0-2-4|-3---2-----2|
E -------3----|-------3----|-------3---2|-0-2-3------|-------3----|


   C     G      C     G      Em    A      D

G ------------|------------|------------|------------|
D ------------|------------|------------|-0----------|
A -3---2-----2|-3---2------|-------0-2-4|------------|
E ------3-----|-------3---2|-0-2-3------|------------|


After that part, the song goes back to another verse and another chorus.
After the second chorus, the guitar and bass plays the riff on the
A and D strings like (I will call this Riff X):


E ----------------------------|
B ----------------------------|
G ----------------------------| (As you may notice, I have no measure lines 
D -0------------------------2-|  so just play it like how you hear it)
A -----0-2-3---0-2-3--0-2-3---|   
E ----------------------------|


Play this part repeatedly (I think four times then the song goes into a 
slight verse instrumental and back to the chorus and then back into the 
verse.  These are basically the tabs for the song.  The lyrics are:


F         C           Eb           Bb
I~m going down to the house in the woods
Dm  Am        C  G
See my little darling
F         C     Eb               Bb
I~m going down, out in the fields
     Dm    Am   C  G
With summertime coming

C     G     C          G
Oh my love, what can I do
C          G      Em   A
What can I do but love you?
        C          G         C          G
For the rest of my days, the rest of my nights
C          G      Em   A
What can I do but love you
D
Babe

F          C            Eb           Bb
Summertime falls on the house in the woods
Dm   Am     C     G
Back by the power lines
  F           C            Eb          Bb
I ain~t got a neighbor for nine or ten miles
Dm   Am     C    G
Back in the tall pines

    C        G     C          G
And hey, now baby, what can I do?
C                  G      Em    A
What am I goin~ to do but trust you?
    C          G           C          G
The rest of my nights, the rest of my days
C          G      Em   A
What can I do but love you?
D     (Riff X)
Babe


(Instrumental Verse)

C       G     C          G
Hey now baby, what can I do?
C                  G      Em   A
What am I going to do but love you
        C          G         C          G
For the rest of my days, the rest of my nights
C            G      Em   A
What could I do but love you?
D
Babe

into the ever famous verse chords)
