Hit the ground running

written by Michel Lunn and Jeff Silbar
performend by Jonny Lang
from the album Lie to me


This is a very simple version of Hit the ground running. I tabbed out
just the basics of it. In the orginal, the second guitar plays a sort
little cords al the time. You cant't tab that because this varies very
much. So try to do this yourself...

Chords:

     D      D(10.fret) D(5.fret)
E------2--------10--------5--------|
B------3--------10--------7--------|
G------2--------11--------7--------|
D------0--------12--------7--------|
A---------------12--------5--------|
E---------------10--------x--------|



Riffs:  This is sounds not exactly like it is played on the album
        'cause Riff 2 is actually played by horns. So one possibility
        is to hit just the bass notes like I've tabbed it out down
        there.

Lyrics:


The biggest fool there ever was            \
I let you go                                \ Riff A
and now I can't survive without your touch  /
I need you so                              /

but baby all you've got to do              \  Riff B
is tell me that you need me too            /

I hit the ground running                   \  Riff A
I hit the ground running                   /
I hit the ground running back to you       >  Riff C

Oh well I'd rather die a thousand deaths   \
than to lose your love                      \ Riff A
but now I'm drowning in my loneliness       /
I can rise above - yeah again              /

well just forgive me this one last time    \  Riff B
and tell me baby you're still mine         /

I hit the ground running                   \  Riff A
I hit the ground running baby yeah         /
I hit the ground running back to you       >  Riff C

(solo)

Oh I hit the ground running                \  Riff A
I hit the ground running                   /
I hit the ground running back to you       >  Riff C

Ah you know I'm coming                     \
I'm coming back for you by now baby         \ Riff A
so if you don't want me baby                /
lock your doors cause here I come          /

(solo)
