🤘 Verse 1:
 D5D5      E5E5      F5F5
Tough of the track with the wind
     A5A5         G5G5      D5D5
And the rain that's beating down on your back
   E5E5       F5F5
Your heart's beating loud
   A5A5       G5G5
And goes on getting louder
   D5/F#    G5G5      E5E5    F#5F#5  B5B5    E5E5
And goes on even more till the sound is ringing in your head
   F#5F#5   B5B5    F#5F#5   G#5G#5   C#5C#5    F#5F#5
With every step you tread and every breath you take
  G#5G#5 C#5C#5  D5D5    E5E5     F5F5
Determination makes you run, never stop
    A5A5     G5G5      D5D5
Gotta win, gotta run till you drop
     E5E5       F5F5
Keep the pace, hold the race
   A5A5        G5G5
Your mind is getting clearer
    D5/F#     G5G5
You're over halfway there
     E5E5     F#5F#5  B5B5   E5E5
But the miles, they never seem to end
  F#5F#5    B5B5   F#5F#5    G#5G#5  C#5C#5 F#5F#5
As if you're in a dream, not getting anywhere
  G#5G#5   C#5C#5
It seems so futile


🤘 Chorus:
 DmDm     Bb majorBb

The loneliness of the long distance runner

🤘 Verse 2:
 D5D5    E5E5      F5F5
Run over stiles, across fields
 A5A5        G5G5      D5D5
Turn to look at who's on your heels
   E5E5     F5F5
Way ahead of the field
   A5A5       G5G5
The line is getting nearer
   D5/F#      G5G5    E5E5
But do you want the glory that goes?
   F#5F#5    B5B5   E5E5   F#5F#5    B5B5   F#5F#5
You reach the final stretch, ideals are just a trace
   G#5G#5     C#5C#5    F#5F#5
You feel like throwing the race
   G#5G#5   C#5C#5
It's all so futile


🤘 Chorus:
 DmDm     Bb majorBb
Run, on and on
 C majorC     FF
Run, on and on
   DmDm  Bb majorBb     C majorC       DmDm
The loneliness of the long distance runner
 DmDm     Bb majorBb
Run, on and on
 C majorC     FF
Run, on and on
   DmDm  Bb majorBb     C majorC       DmDm
The loneliness of the long distance runner
