Ankle Deep Tab

by Tom Petty


intro    x2

                                   
Well, they raised that horse to be a jumper 
                                
He was owned by a mid-west bible thumper 
                            
His preacher was a Louisiana drummer 
                                  
Took all winter to get through the summer 

same chords as above    
The fieldhand hit the switch and stumbled 

Outside the big engine roared and rumbled 

The stolen horse spooked and tumbled 

She didn't speak for a week 

Just kinda mumbled

intro again

              
ankle deep in love (x4) 

same chords as above

He was caught up in a lie he half believed 
Found her hiding high in the family tree 
Washed his hands and put her cross his knee 
She said daddy "you been a mother to me"
