[C]
[F]
Run for the Roses was commissioned by ABC Sports that was broadcast [Am] live the night before
the running of the Kentucky [Bb] Derby.
I love that song.
I mean, it's just a [C] simple song with my love for horses.
I [F] think on a larger scale it deals with the odds [Am] that we all have to face in life, and
I think that's [Bb] the success of the song.
Probably the [C] line, [E] the chance of a [F] lifetime and a lifetime of chance.
[Am] Because we all have those moments, you know, [Bb] that you either grab them and you take them
advantage [F] of and you move on, or perhaps [Dm] regret that you didn't the rest of your life.

[F] You'll soon [Dm] be a-growing [Gm] up strong.
[C]
[D] [F] All the lonely [Am] easy mornings, [Bb] past [C] just green.
[F] The sun [Am] on your withers, [Bb] the wind in [C] your mane.
[F] I could never [Am] prepare you [Bb] for what lies [Bbm]
ahead.
[F] Run [Dm] for the roses, [Gm] so red.
[C]
I [Bb] need to run for [C] the roses [Am] as fast as you [A]
can.
[Bb] Your faith has [C]
delivered [Am] your moments at hand.
It's [Bb] the chance [C] of a lifetime [Am] and a lifetime [Dm] of chance.
[Bb] It's high time you joined in [C] the dance.
[Eb] It's high time you joined [Bb] in the dance.
[F] The desire, the [Am] desire, [Bb] it's born [C] in the blood.
[F] The fire [Am] of a mare and [Bb] the strength of [C] a stud.
[F] It's breezy [Am] and it's trainy [Bb] and it's up [Bbm] there alone.
[F] The drive, the [Dm] shoo-in, there is [Gm] you.
[C]
I [Bb] need to run for [C] the roses [Am] as fast as you can.
[Bb] Your faith [C] has delivered [Am] your moments at hand.
It's [Bb] the chance [C] of a lifetime and [Am] a lifetime of [Dm]
chance.
