This is the title track off Mick s new album, unreal song hope you enjoy playing it!
I ll only write out the music for the first verse and chorus as it is the same for the
rest of the song and i ll put in the links between the verses where necessary.
During the chorus I think it sounds better to play the D with the high E sting open,
without holding the string down so it looks like this.
e|---0--|
B|---3--|
G|---2--|
D|---0--|
A|---0--|
E|---X--|
Intro: | | | | (x2)
Verse
You see them sailor boys comin down the line,
They ve got it right, they re only here boy for one hell of a time.
You ve spent your whole life turnin red to blue,
Now what have you got, what can you show me,
Brings any joy to you?
Chorus
You keep runnin , you keep runnin you go run on down that line,
They ll all pair off, they ll fall in love and they ll do fine.
Verse
I seen you last night you fallin round the town,
It ain t that hard to find some reason for you to hang around.
You hear that silver tongue, it s drippin beads o charm,
You dread that fool, for when you meet him, he s gonna do you harm.
Chorus
He ll do you harm but you keep runnin , you go run on down that line.
He ll be passin , he will pass, you let him by.

Verse
That loneliness it drove you round the bend,
You don t know why that had to happen, you only know it did.
You re dreamin of her you re cravin all her charms,
You can t but cry when you see her in that sailor s arms.
Chorus
She kept runnin , she kept runnin , God she ran on down that line,
She messed around, she settled down, and she did fine.
Verse
Tell me a story, go on tell me about the pain,
Oh California, good on ya, you re sleepin in the rain,
You sought that heartache to see how it felt,
You hapless fool, you couldn t help it, you did this to yourself,
you did this to yourself.
Outro
