Song
"Run for the Roses"
from album of the same name by Jerry Garcia Band
1978
Transcribed by M Nocera
(Intro/chorus)
Run, run, run for the roses.
The quicker it opens the sooner it closes.
Man, oh man, oh friend of mine,
All good things in all good time
(D u D u D u D u)
(Verse 1)
Reach for the sun, catch hold of the moon
They^Òre both too heavy, but what can you do?
Reach for the stars, smack into the sky
You don^Òt want to live but your chicken to die
F#m E D hold D
Ooh, you're chicken to die
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Run for the money, caught short on the rent
Big ideas but the cash is all spent
The trouble with love is its other face
You just want the cup but you don't want the race
F#m E D hold D
No, you don't want the race
(Chorus)
(Verse chord pattern jam)
(Chorus chord pattern jam)
(Verse 3)
Reach for the rose, get caught on the briar
You're warming to love, next thing there's a fire
If you've got the "do-re", I've got the "mi"
I've got a notion, we're all at sea
F#m E D hold D
Yes, we're all at sea
(Chorus x2)... end
