The Running Kind by Merle Haggard



                The Running Kind 




Tuning: E A D G B E
 
[intro]
G
 
[Chorus]
G
I was born the running kind leaving always on my mind
                             C
Home was never home to me at anytime
       D7
Every front door found me hoping I would find the back door open
                                G
There just had to be an exit for the running kind
 
[Verse 1]
G
Within me there's a prison surrounding me alone
                              C
As real as any dungeon -  with a wall of stone
        D7
I know running's not the answer but running's been my nature
                                G
And a part of me that keeps -me moving on
 
[Chorus]
G
I was born the running kind leaving always on my mind
                             C
Home was never home to me at anytime
        D7
Every front door found me hoping I would find the back door open
                                     G
There just had to be an exit for the running kind
 
[outro]
 
G / C / D7 / G

I was born the runnin' kind
With leavin' always on my mind
Home was never home to me at any time
Every front door found me hopin'
I would find the back door open
There just had to be an exit
For the runnin' kind
Within me there's a prison
Surrounding me alone
As real as any dungeon with its walls of stone
I know runnin's not the answer
Yeah, but runnin's been my nature
And a part of me
That keeps me movin' on
I was born the runnin' kind
With leavin' always on my mind
Home was never home to me at any time
Every front door found me hopin'
I would find the back door open
There just had to be an exit
For the runnin' kind
I was born the runnin' kind
With leavin' always on my mind
Home was never home to me at any time
Every front door found me hopin'
I would find the back door open
There just had to be an exit
For the runnin' kind
