C#m   G#m   G   A   E   E/

C#m                G#m             A      B      E
Wise men spoke the vision   Of the spirit horses way
        C#m              G#m                G     A      E
Like a  saviour he has a mission   From the ashes of the plains
        C#m             G#m            A       B      E
All the souls of mighty warriors   Are carried in his veins
        C#m              G#m           G       A           E
All the hopes of ancient nations   Are flowing through his mane

        A      C#m    B
And the spirit voices say
      C#m             G#m           A   B              E
Never chase a running shadow   Underneath the midnight sky
      C#m             G#m               G  A          E
Never chase a running shadow   You will ride till you die

         C#m           G#m    A        B     E

>From the badlands of Dakota   One lone rider came
   C#m                G#m          G          A      E
To catch the restless spirit  They said could not be tamed

       C#m                G#m          A            B       E
And he laughed at all the legends   He called their stories lies
   C#m            G#m               G         A      E
He called it superstition   Foolish dreams of fading tries

        A      C#m    B
And the spirit voices cry
      C#m             G#m           A   B              E
Never chase a running shadow   Underneath the midnight sky
      C#m             G#m               G  A          E
Never chase a running shadow   You will ride till you die

C#m   G#m   G   A   E

     C#m                    G#m          A          B          E
Over hills and through dark canyons   He chased the steel dust grey
       C#m                 G#m           G         A         E
But he could not catch the stallion   He could not break his pace
      C#m             G#m       A      B       E
He persued the racing phantom   To the canyons edge
            C#m               G#m               G      A      E
But running shadow jumped the chasm   Left the outlaw on the ledge

        A      C#m    B
And the spirit voices say
      C#m             G#m           A   B              E
Never chase a running shadow   Underneath the midnight sky
      C#m             G#m               G  A          E
Never chase a running shadow   You will ride till you die

      C#m             G#m               G  A          E
Never chase a running shadow   You will ride till you die

C#m   G#m   G   A   E   (Fade out)
