Running Bear

A
 On the banks of the river
              D                  A
Stood Running Bear, young Indian brave
       A
On the other side of the river
          B7            E7
Stood his lovely Indian maid
       A
Little White Dove was a-her name
       D               A
Such a lovely sight to see
          A
But their tribes fought with each other
         E7               A
So their love could never be

[Chorus]
        D                 A
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
       E7              A
With a love big as the sky
        D                 A
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
       E7                 A
With a love that couldn't die

            A
He couldn't swim the ragin' river
           D             A
'Cause the river was too wide
            A
He couldn't reach Little White Dove
        B7           E7
Waiting on the other side
       A
In the moonlight he could see her
         D                 A
Throwing kisses 'cross the waves
           A
Her little heart was beating faster
        E7             A
Waiting for her Indian brave

[Chorus]
        D                 A
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
       E7              A
With a love big as the sky
        D                 A
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
       E7                 A
With a love that couldn't die(chorus)

[Verse 3]
         A
Running Bear dove in the river
        D                  A
Little White Dove did the same
         A
And they swam out to each other
            B7                   E7
Through the swirling stream they came
         A
As their hands touched and their lips met
           D                 A
The ragin' river pulled them down
            A
Now they'll always be together
        E7            A
In that happy hunting ground

[Chorus]
        D                 A
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
       E7              A
With a love big as the sky
        D                 A
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
       E7                 A
With a love that couldn't die
