          C                    Fmaj7
Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
                      C
As we fell into the sun,
        C                     Fmaj7
And the first one said to the second one there
                      Em
I hope you're having fun.
G           C    Em   C      Am
Band on the run, band on the run.
        Fmaj7          C
And the jailer man and sailor Sam

     Fmaj7
Were searching every one
        C    Fmaj7  C   Fmaj7 C    Fmaj7 C   Fmaj7
For the band on the run,      band on the run
C    Fmaj7  C   Fmaj7 C    Fmaj7  
  Fmaj7
band on the run,      band on the run

          C                 Fmaj7
Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
                            C
Seeing no one else had come,
      C                       Fmaj7
And a bell was ringing in the village square
                         Em
For the rabbits on the run.

G           C    Em   C      Am
Band on the run, band on the run.
        Fmaj7          C
And the jailer man and sailor Sam

     Fmaj7
Were searching every one
        C    Fmaj7  C   Fmaj7 C    Fmaj7 C   Fmaj7
For the band on the run,      band on the run

Solo: Fmaj7 | C  | Fmaj7

        C    Fmaj7  C   Fmaj7 C    Fmaj7 C   Fmaj7
For the band on the run,      band on the run
C    Fmaj7  C   Fmaj7 C    Fmaj7  
  Fmaj7
band on the run,      band on the run


          C                        Fmaj7
Well, the night was falling as the desert world
                   C
Began to settle down.
       C                             Fmaj7
In the town they're searching for us every where
                       Em
But we never will be found.

G           C    Em   C      Am
Band on the run, band on the run.
        Fmaj7        Riff      C
And the county judge,      who held a grudge
     Fmaj7
Will search for ever   more

        C    Fmaj7  C   Fmaj7 C    Fmaj7 C   Fmaj7
For the band on the run,      band on the run
C    Fmaj7  C   Fmaj7 C    Fmaj7
