[Verse 1]
                        D          D        D         
You know I don’t do you wrong girl
       D          G         G          G          
When I go out sometimes
         G           A          A          A          
I'm just looking for answers
         A            D          D          D          
I know I ain't gonna find
       D             D          D          D          
I just feel like I'm drowning
        D           G          G          G          
In this whole crazy scene
  G             A           A          A          
I don't want my freedom
       A           D          D          D          
Just a run now and then


[Chorus]
       D             D          D        D         
Let an old racehorse run
        D        G         G          G          
Let him open his stride
         G            A    A          A7          
Feel the wind in his mane again
        A7             D          D        D         
See the pride in his eyes
        D              D          D        D         
Let him bring back the mem'ry
       D          G         G          G          G
Of the races he's won
          G            A         A           A
There's a freedom that flows way down in his soul
       A7            D          D          D          D
Let an old racehorse run

[Verse 2]
                       D         D         D7          
You know I do love you woman
      D7              G          G         G         
But I swear there are times
         G            A           A         A         
When I'm watching the years slip away
          A7       D          D          D          
Down that assembly line
          D           D          D          D          
I've been one for the money
         D          G          G         G          
I've got nothing to show
        G              A    A             A           
I gotta get out in the wind every now and then
        A         D          D          D          
and get out of control



[Chorus]
       D             E          E          E          
Let an old racehorse run
        E        A          A          A          
Let him open his stride
         A           B    B          B7          
Feel the wind in his mane again
        B7           E          E          E          
See the pride in his eyes
        E              E          E          E          
Let him bring back the mem'ry
       E          A          A          A          
Of the races he's won
          A            B         B           B
There's a freedom that flows way down in his soul
       B             E          E          E          
Let an old racehorse run

[Outro]
          E            B         B           B
There's a freedom that flows way down in his soul
       B             E          E          E          E
Let an old racehorse run
