Em
I am a runaway

                         C
Many of my kind were and are

        Am   C   Em  B7
Running away way way way

Em
All on a rainy day

                          C
Hitching along the King's Highway

        Am   C   Em  B7
Running away way way way

Em           Am
But I'm sailing into candor

F
With a pile of gold

Bb
And the hermit's guiding me and he's

E                   Am
Very, very wise and old

F#m           Bm
I will see my true love there

F#m           Bm
She'll be pleased to see me
[Chorus]
D                       C
The city soon'll see my sail

        E              A
They'll know that I am home

D                       C
The city soon'll see my sail

            E              A
And they'll know that I am home

D                       C
The city soon'll see my sail

            E              A
And they'll know that I am home
[Verse]
Em
There goes a runaway

                         C
Many of his kind running away

        Am   C    Em    B7
Running away from their way

Em
Remember the rainy day

                    C
Many of us were and are

         Am    C     Em   B7
Standing alone alone lone lone
E7 (with 3rd fret B string) to A [Bridge]
D                F
Lady Claire come if you dare

Am                     B7
and make your presence known

D                F
I don't care for snakey hair

Am                B7
and all your sexy moans
[Verse]
Em           Am
But I'm sailing into candor

F
With a pile of gold

Bb
And the hermit's guiding me and he's

E                   A
Very, very wise and old

F#m           Bm
I will see my true love there

F#m           Bm
She'll be pleased to see me
[Chorus]
D                       C
The city soon'll see my sail

        E              A
They'll know that I am home

D                       C
The city soon'll see my sail

            E              A
And they'll know that I am home

D                       C
The city soon'll see my sail

            E              A
And they'll know that I am home
[Outro]
Em

There goes a run run runaway
