                             Runnin' Down A Dream

                             ---------------------

  

            Signature Riff: use throughout the entire song.

            I do it like this: on the top (low E string)

                                       (play power E chord)

            E 0--7--0--6--0--5--0--3--0---------------

  

            Verse1:

                   E

                   It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down

                               D                 E

                   I had the radio on, I was drivin'

  

                   The trees went back, me and Del were singin'

                             D                  E

                   Little Runaway, I was so blind

  

            Chorus:        D       G       E

                   Yeah, Runnin' down a dream

                    E           G       A

                   Never would come to me

                   D          G       E

                   Workin' on a mystery

                   E          G         A

                   Goin' wherever it leads

                   D          G       E

                   Runnin' down a dream

  

  

            Verse2:

                    E

                    I felt so good, like anything was possible

                           D                        E

                    Hit cruise control, and rub my eyes

  

                    Last three days, the rain was unstoppable

                            D                       E

                    (It) was always cold, no sunshine

  

            Repeat Chorus

            Break: It is just C (riff) D (riff) E (riff)  Play 2X

  

            Verse3:

                   E

                   I rolled on, the sky grew dark

                               D                        E

                   I put the pedal down, to make some time

  

                   There's something good, waiting down this road

                             D                 E

                   I'm pickin' up, whatever is mine

  

            Repeat chorus 2X, then Break part, and add SOLO!

  

                                        Enjoy! Mark....

          ============================

  

  

           E                 

  It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down

            D                   E

  I had the radio on. I was drivin'

                                               D             

  Trees flew by, me and Del was singin' little runaway 

        E

  I was flyin'

  

  

  CHORUS

           A       G      E

  Yeah I'm runnin' down a dream

       E           G       A

  That never would come to me

  A            G    E   E          G      A 

  Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads

  A       G      E

  Runnin' down a dream

  

  

  I felt so good like anything was possible

  I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes

  The last tree days the rain was un-stoppable 

  It was always cold, no sunshine

  

  

  CHORUS

  

  

  I rolled on as the sky grew dark

  I put the pedal down to make some time

  There's something good waitin' down this road

  I'm pickin' up whatever's mine

  

  

  CHORUS
