Running 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) 
 
          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....

        RUNNIN' DOWN A DREAM - Petty 
        ============================ 
 
 
         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
