Guitar chords Runaway

Runaway is a famous song written by Del Shannon and Max Crook in 1961. It became a major hit for Del Shannon upon its release. The story behind the song relates to feelings of loss and loneliness, inspired by Shannons own romantic separation at the time. The song’s most distinctive feature is a solo played on an electronic instrument called the musitron, played by Max Crook, which gave the song a very unique sound for that era.
