The lyrics are sung over a stretched out E chord played on the 7th fret
on the A string. Stretch the E chord by one fret until your
index finger reaches the 4th fret on the A string, then go back
to the E chord on the 7th fret. The numbers after the E
represent the fret number that's stretched from the original E position.
If you're familiar with the song, then the strumming patterns will come to you naturally!

He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
G F C C G-C-G G-C-G
The future was wide open

The papers said Ed always played from heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
Am C Am C
They made a record and it went in the charts
G F C G-C-G G-C-G
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"

Just clarifying, I believe all the A's and E's are minor. And the first progression is the 6th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st strings open, the 5th fret on the 4th string, and then a the 7th fret of the 5th string, then 6th, 5th, and 4th.
Em, Em/Eb, Em/D, Em/Db
The way that Tom Petty plays his song is with the chords that you're talking about, BUT if you try playing the song the way that I described it, it sounds similar and you don't have to play open chords. All you have to do play an E power-type chord on the seventh fret of the A string with your index finger on the 7th fret of A and your pinkie on the 9th fret of the D string . . . then stretch the index finger up one fret for each different sound. This is "merely" an alternate way to play the song.
