Run For The Roses

E            E/G#          A            B7
E            E/G#          A            B7

[Verse 1]
E            E/G#          A            B7
Born in the valley, and raised in the trees
E             E/G#        A       B7
Of Western Kentucky, on wobbly knees
     E       E/G#         A         Am
With Mama beside you, to help you along,
         E        C#m         F#m       B7
You'll soon be a-growing up strong.

[Verse 2]
E            E/G#              A           B7
All the long lazy mornings, in pastures of green,
E               E/G#         A            B7
The sun on your withers, the wind in your mane
      E        E/G#         A          Am
Could never prepare you for what lies ahead:

         E        C#m         F#m       B7
The run for the roses so red.  And it's

[Chorus]
A           B7       G#m
Run for the roses as fast as you can
A              B7             G#m
Your fate is delivered.  Your moment's at hand.
         A           B7             G#m         A
It's the chance of a lifetime, in a lifetime of chance,
         F#m                         B7
And it's high time you joined in the dance.
     D                           A
It's high time you joined in the dance.

[Verse 3]
     E       E/G#       A           B7
From sire to sire, it's born in the blood.
    E         E/G#         A             B7
The fire of a mare and the strength of a stud.
     E                  E/G#               A           Am
It's breeding, and it's training, and it's something unknown,
     E              C#m     A   B7
That drives you and carries you home.

[Chorus]
         A           B7       G#m
And it's run for the roses as fast as you can
A              B7             G#m
Your fate is delivered.  Your moment's at hand.
         A           B7             G#m         A
It's the chance of a lifetime, in a lifetime of chance,
         F#m                         B7
And it's high time you joined in the dance.
     D                           A
It's high time you joined in the dance.
