Run for the Roses - Dan Fogelberg
Intro: E G#m A B7 E G#m A B7 E G#m A Am E C#m F#m B7
E G#m A B7
Born in the valley, and raised in the trees
E G#m A B7
Of Western Ken-tucky, on wobbly knees
E G#m A Am
With Mama be-side you, to help you a-long,
E C#m F#m B7
You'll soon be a-growing up strong.
E G#m A B7
All the long lazy mornings, in pastures of green,
E G#m A B7
The sun on your withers, the wind in your mane
E G#m A Am
Could never pre-pare you for what lies a-head:
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 de-livered. 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

D A
It's high time you joined in the dance.
E G#m A B7

Chorus:
A B7 G#m
Run for the roses as fast as you can
A B7 G#m
Your fate is de-livered. 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.
