Running Down a Dream
Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Mike Campbell

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---------------

         E
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
          D                  E
I had the radio on, I was drivin'

The trees flew by, me and Del were singin'
       D              E
Little Runaway, I was flyin'


    D       G      E
I'm runnin' down a dream
             G       A
Never woulda come to me
D            G      E
Workin' on a mystery
          G       A
Goin' wherever it leads
        G          E
Runnin' down a dream

   
I felt so good, like anything was possible
      D                               E
I hit cruise control, and rubbed my eyes

The last three days, the rain was unstoppable
       D                  E
It was always cold, no sunshine


Refrain

C  D  E  (2x)


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's mine


Refrain

C  D  E  (3x)
