Hello, I'm NickStratoStyle and I'm going to show you how to play the song "When the Time
Comes" by Tom Petty.
I hope you find this tab accurate,( this song is a little bit strange) but I think is
correct, so... let's rock!!
(Sorry for my english, i know it isn't very fluent, i hope you'll understand anyway.)
When the Time Comes
Key song: E
Some chords are suspended (Gadd6, F#m7, Dadd2) but you can play them normally; besides,
i play the E chord without the G#:
E( I play it like this in the verse of this song, I think it sounds better)
e-0|
b-0|
g-x|
d-2|
a-2|
E-0|
Gadd6: F#m7: Dadd2
e-0| e-0| e-0|
b-3| b-2| b-3|
g-0| g-2| g-2|
d-0| d-4| d-0|

E Gadd6
This might sound strange, it might seem dumb
F#m7 E
Depends on the side that you take it in from
E Gadd6
Depends on the time, depends on the day
F#m7 E
Depends on a lot of things, who can say
In this verse, you can play the chords as power chords:
A E A E A E B E
I just want to let you know that I will stand by you
A E A E
Through whatever might come, wherever you run
A E B E
Will you stand by me when the time comes
| E | Gadd6| F#m7 | E

E Gadd6
Baby do you understand, am I making this clear
F#m7 E
Are you tuning me out 'cause I'm coming off weird
E Gadd6
Well I don't care, that's all right
F#m7 E
It's okay, I don't mind
A E A E A E B E
I just want to let you know that I will stand by you
A E A E
Through whatever might come, wherever you run
A E B E
Will you stand by me when the time comes

During this part of the song , one guitar goes like this:
(I know it sounds strange, but if you listen to the song on the headphones, i'm sure
you'll be able to hear it.
e--------------|
b--------------|
g---6----------|
d-6---6-4---4--| x 14 times( until the final B)
a---------4---4|
E--------------|
In this part of the song, I play the E chord like a power chord, in this way:
E:
e-x|
b-x|
g-4|
d-2|
a-2|
E-x|
A E Dadd2 A E Dadd2 A
This ain't the right time to say what's on my mind
C#m A E Dadd2 A
I know, but I look in your eyes
E Dadd2 A C#m
And there is no real life at all
B
Baby hold on
E Gadd6
And someday soon you'll come around
F#m7 E
You know where I can be found
E Gadd6
When your heart feels right, seek me out
F#m7 E
We can talk more then babe, but right now
A E A E A E B E
I just want to let you know that I will stand by you
A E A E
Through whatever might come, wherever you run
A E B E
Will you stand by me when the time comes
