[Intro]
E A B
E A B

[Verse 1]
E                                   A                  B
Born in the valley, and raised in the trees
E                                        A            B
Of Western Kentucky, on wobbly knees
          E                             A              Am
With Mama beside you, to help you along,
             E             C#m             F#m B
You'll soon be a-growing up strong.

[Verse 2]
E                                              A               B
All the long lazy mornings, in pastures of green,
E                                            A                   B
The sun on your withers, the wind in your mane
             E                              A              Am
Could never prepare you for what lies ahead:
              E            C#m          F#m      B
The run for the roses so red. And it's

[Chorus]
A                  B         G#m
Run for the roses as fast as you can
A                     B                  G#m
Your fate is delivered. Your moment's at hand.
            A                B                   G#m           A
It's the chance of a lifetime, in a lifetime of chance,
             F#m                                      B
And it's high time you joined in the dance.
        D                                       A
It's high time you joined in the dance.

[Verse 3]
         E                       A                B
From sire to sire, it's born in the blood.
        E                                 A                   B
The fire of a mare and the strength of a stud.
        E                                                  A                   Am
It's breeding, and it's training, and it's something unknown,
         E                      C#m    A    B
That drives you and carries you home.

[Chorus]
              A               B           G#m
And it's run for the roses as fast as you can
A                    B                      G#m
Your fate is delivered. Your moment's at hand.
             A                B                   G#m        A
It's the chance of a lifetime, in a lifetime of chance,
             F#m                                     B
And it's high time you joined in the dance.
      D                                         A
It's high time you joined in the dance.
