Lynyrd Skynyrd - Born to Run: chords

           D
There's an old man sitting on a front porch now
 C                   F
Talking about how it used to be
When I was young I was a hell of a man
My father died when I was ten
I hit the road to find a job
Had to feed my family
Times were hard my hands are still scarred
From the life I've had to lead

       D        C D C G
I was born to run

Drove a tractor and trailer all my life
Six kids and a hell of a wife
Made lots of money it all slipped away
A large family that's the price you pay
I always dreamed never gave up
Son, even when times got tough
That's when I'd push it a little bit more
You should've heard that engine roar

Chorus:
       D
I was born to run
Can't slow down
F           C
No regrets, I've been blessed
D
Born to run
                  F                      C
In time you'll see what the good Lord's done for me
D
Born to run
I can't slow down
F              C
No regrets, I did my best
D
Born to run
In time you'll see
F                     C              D
What the good Lord's done, done for me

G                D
The old man, he passed away
G                       C      D
And all he said never crossed my mind
G                 D
Until I saw the price he payed
       C        D
Was a lot like mine

G                         D
I'm full and though it's miles away
G                   C     D
Gotta hit the city right on time
G                    D                   C       A
And when I'm on I'll always sing little song of mine
               D
I was born to run

Chorus
