Merle Haggard  -   The Running Kind chords
Start Jamming...
I was born the running kind, leaving all ways off my mind.
Home was never home to [B] me [C] at any time.
[D] Every front door found me hoping I would find the back door open.
There just had to be an exit.
[G]
Within me there's a prison, surrounding me all along.
I'd free you within a dungeon [A] where [C] it was long.
I [D] know running's not the exit, but running's been my nature.
And a part of me keeps me [G] moving on.
I was born the running kind, leaving all ways off my mind.
Home was never [B] home to me [C] at any time.
[D] Every front door found me hoping I would find the back door open.
There just had to be an exit [Em] for [G] the running kind.
