Running Down A Dream

------------------------------- Message Contents -------------------------------

Hi! I had a couple of minutes,so I figured I would share one

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:

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down

I had the radio on, I was drivin'

The trees went back, me and Del were singin'

Little Runaway, I was so blind

Yeah, Runnin' down a dream

Never would come to me

Workin' on a mystery

Goin' wherever it leads

Runnin' down a dream

Verse2:

I felt so good, like anything was possible

Hit cruise control, and rub my eyes

Last three days, the rain was unstoppable

(It) was always cold, no sunshine

Repeat Chorus

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

Verse3:

I rolled on, the sky grew dark

I put the pedal down, to make some time

There's something good, waiting down this road

I'm pickin' up, whatever is mine

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

Enjoy! Mark....

RUNNIN' DOWN A DREAM - Petty

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

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down

I had the radio on. I was drivin'

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

I was flyin'

Yeah I'm runnin' down a dream

That never would come to me

Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads

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

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
