Since I play that song with the co writer every Sunday night (John
Prestia), I'll take this one.

First, the chords are pretty easy, so I'll just tell you what they are.
Bo Diddly intro and verse:  E to A  I play them in open position by the
nut.

No one left to run with ............
That is a variation of an F#m that plays like
e------------------------------------|
b------2-----------------------------|
g------2-----------------------------|       let ring out
d----------------4-------------------|
a----------------4-------------------|
e------------------------------------|

to a Barre A style B chord, back to the open E chord
back to the Bo Diddly E to A

I will take some time to get you some of the Warren slide and Dicky lead,
but if I were you, I'd just jam it like you said.

Lyrics:
No One To Run With Anymore
John Prestia/Dickey Betts

Verse1
E        A                 E                                      E A E A

Everybody wants to know where Jimmy has gone

He left town, don't think he's comin' back home.

Tony's got a job, three kids, and a lovely wife

Workin' at the commerce bank for the rest of his life.

Chorus
F#m                  B                  E
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to do the crazy things we used to do
       before
Nobody left to run with anymore

Guitar Hook


Verse 2
I'm gonna hit the road, adios my friend

Go someplace and start all over again

Don't know where I'm goin', like a gypsy out on the
     road

Go someplace and join a travelin' show.


CHORUS


Guitar Solo for verse    (Warren Slide)
Guitar Solo for Chorus (Dickey Straight)


Verse 3
I think Jimmy must of had the right idea

Packed up his stuff and moved right outta here

I don't know where he's at, but I'm sure that he's O.K.

Now I realize just what Jimmy's tryin' to say


CHORUS


Bo Diddley guitar part
Tight Ending!
