of my favorite Petty tunes with you. It is very easy, but fun
to play! hope you like it as much as I do! Best...Mark...
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....
