Running Shadow

C#m   G#m   G   A   E   E

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

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

         C#m           G#m    A  
>From the badlands of Dakota   
      B     E
One lone rider came
   C#m                G#m          
To catch the restless spirit  They 
G          A      E
said could not be tamed
       C#m                G#m     
And he laughed at all the legends 
     A            B       E
  He called their stories lies
   C#m            G#m             
He called it superstition   
  G         A      E
Foolish dreams of fading tries

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

C#m   G#m   G   A   E

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

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

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