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 Chorus: 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 (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.... Submitted by [email protected] 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' CHORUS 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 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 CHORUS
