Run Engine Run

[Intro]

Bb



[Verse]

F                            C

He left his Mercedes Benz, a ruby red from â€˜64

Bb                                     F             C

We’d wipe that hood clean and push the pedal to the floor

F                                         C

Last night we went out driving to see the fields my grandpa sweat

Bb                                  F            C

Those South Dakota summers just get harder to forget



[Chorus]

F            Bb

Run, engine, run

F                             C

Keep turning â€˜till the day is done

F            Bb

Run, engine, run

F                         C

For the man who asked for none



[Instrumental]

F Bb



[Verse]

F                               C

He won her at an auction just a couple months before

Bb                                   F              C

It seemed he gave away everything he saved up to afford

F

He wore a cowboy hat, a pearl snap shirt

C

Got up real early for his daily work

Bb                         F                C

He was tied to a tradition from a long time ago



[Chorus]

F            Bb

Run, engine, run

F                             C

Keep turning â€˜till the day is done

F            Bb

Run, engine, run

F                         C

For the man who asked for none

[Verse]

F                                            C

I was sixteen, riding shotgun, it was he, my brother, and I

      Bb                                     F                C

Along Black Hills gold, the prairie cold, he looked up at the sky

F                                              C

We took the four wheels for a test ride to the Prairie House restaurant

Bb                                      F                               C

He called the waitress over and joked, â€œSurprise me with whatever you’d want”



[Chorus]

F            Bb

Run, engine, run

F                             C

Keep turning â€˜till the day is done

F            Bb

Run, engine, run

F                         C

For the man who asked for none



[Outro]

Who asked for none

Bb            F

Who asked for none

Bb            F

Who asked for none
