Signature Riff: use throughout the entire song.
I do it like this: on the top (low E string)
(play power E chord)

Verse1:
EIt was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
D EI had the radio on, I was drivin'
 
The trees went back, me and Del were singin'
D ELittle Runaway, I was so blind
 
Chorus: D G E
Yeah, Runnin' down a dream
E G ANever would come to me
D G EWorkin' on a mystery
E G AGoin' wherever it leads
D G ERunnin' down a dream
 
 
Verse2:
EI felt so good, like anything was possible
D EHit cruise control, and rub my eyes
 
Last three days, the rain was unstoppable
D E(It) was always cold, no sunshine
 
Repeat Chorus
Break: It is just C (riff) D (riff) E (riff) Play 2X
 
Verse3:
EI rolled on, the sky grew dark
D EI put the pedal down, to make some time
 
There's something good, waiting down this road
D EI'm pickin' up, whatever is mine
 
Repeat chorus 2X, then Break part, and add SOLO!
