     E
  It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
             D                 E
  I had the radio on, I was drivin'			(Let Note's Ring)

  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


          
     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


          Chorus

          Break 2X: C (Main Riff) D (Main Riff) E (Main Riff)  

          
      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

          Chorus 2X

	  Break

	  Solo


Thats it!
