[Verse]

       E
Oh the sun shines bright over old Kentucky
E
Over old Kentucky on the derby day
             A                           E
They let him run, they let the big horse run
B
Please Mrs Tweedy
C#m
I saw him on the T.V.
F#                          B
Send him out to run in the California sun


[Chorus]
            E            B
And let him run, let him run
       C#m    A         E
Let me see the big horse run
         D  A   B        E
Let him run     Let him run
        D   A   B         E
Let him run     Let him run


[Verse]

E
Swaps, Citation, Man O'War
E
Never saw a horse like that before
             A                 E
Let him run, let the big horse run
B
Running is an itch
C#m
He's got to scratch
F#            B
No offense to old Dan Patch


[Chorus]

            E            B
But let him run, let him run
       C#m    A         E
Let me see the big horse run
         D          A           B         E
Let him run, let him, oh let him, let him run
         D          A           B         E
Let him run, let him, oh let him, let him run


[Verse]

E
Spending his time in the field with the ladies
       E
In the field with the ladies he can't complain
            A                         E
But let him run, oh let the big horse run
B
One more time
C#m
Out on the track
F#                      B
Saddle the wind and get up on his back


[Chorus]

            E            B
But let him run, let him run
       C#m    A         E
Let me see the big horse run
         D          A           B         E
Let him run, let him, oh let him, let him run
         D          A           B         E
Let him run, let him, oh let him, let him run
