Running Bear Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]On the banks of the river
Stood a running [C]bear,
a young Indian [G]brave
On the other side of the river
Stood a [A]lovely Indian [D]maid
Little [G]White Dove was herning
Such a [C]lovely sight to [G]see
But their tribes fought with each other
So their love [D]could never [G]be
Run[C]ning Bear loved Little [G]White Dove
With [D]a love as big as the [G]sky[Em]
Run[C]ning Bear loved Little [G]White Dove
With a [D]love that couldn't [G]die
He [C]couldn't [G]swim [C]the raging [G]river,
cause the [C]river was too [G]wide.
He couldn't reach little white dove
waiting [A]on the other [D]side.
In the [G]moonlight
he could see her throwing [C]kisses
across the [G]waves.
Her little heart was beatin' faster,
waitin' [D]there for a [G]break.[C]
Runnin' Bear loved Little [G]White Dove
with a [D]love as big as [G]the sky.[Em]
Run[G]nin' [C]Bear loved Little [G]White Dove
with a [D]love that couldn't [G]die.
[D]Run[C]ning [G]bare, dove in the water
Little [C]white dove did the [G]same
And they swam out to each other
Through the [A]swollen stream they [D]came
As their [G]hands touched and their lips met
The raging [C]river pulled them [G]down
Now they'll always be together
in that [D]happy hunting [G]ground.[C]
Running bear, love little [G]white dove,
with a [D]love as big as the [G]sky.[Em]
Run[G]ning [C]bear, love little [G]white dove,
with a [D]love that couldn't [G]die.
