And that's it for the song. The only thing to note is after the second verse
there is a written out passage. It's pretty easy to figure out as it is in the key
of D. It's a whole lot more fun to just make it up as you go. After the last verse
of the song is the part where you can really let your hair down and
wail, if it strikes you to. This jam is done over the chorus' progression.

Here's a nice way to play that solo if you are playing solo acoustic.. at the *'s,
switch the rest of your fingers to the corresponding open chord - so you are playing
the lead over the chords in the background. To accentuate the switch, you can even do
a quick light rake over the chord from the bass strings at these points, making the
last string played the one with the lead on it. It's hard to explain. But during the
"rest" section (between repeats, etc.), I like to keep the open D string going.

E--------------------------------------------------For this part, obviously repeat the individual parts as many is necessary (I'm not going
to write the same fingering six times.. listen to a recording to hear how it should be played)
E--5-5-5--3--5--------10-10-10--8-10----

D-0~~(Let Ring)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can even use your ring finger during that last formation (d chord) to hammer on
the B and E notes on the 12th fret of the 5/6th strings - sounds a lot like the way
Trey played it occasionally on Solo Tour
Full Lyrics
I had a dog. His name was Jim
(Runaway, runaway, runaway)
Took all of my old clothes with him.
(Runaway, runaway, runaway)
Whoa-ooooooooooooooo oh Runaway Jim
Whoa-ooooooooooooooo oh Runaway Jim
He was twelve years old when his trip began,
(Runaway, runaway, runaway)
Hauling down the highway in my old sedan.
(Runaway, runaway, runaway.)
Now I wish someone'd tell me where old Jim went,
(Runaway, runaway, runaway)
'Cause he took all the money that I saved for rent.
(Runaway, runaway, runaway)
By the time he came home he was seventeen.
(Runaway, runaway, runaway)
That's a hundred nineteen to you and me.
(Runaway, runaway, runaway)
Now I'm gonna go up to the mountain.
(Runaway, runaway, runaway)
Singing for Jim who's swimming in the fountain.
(Runaway, runaway, runaway)
