Tab from Bongo 
Am               C
My son runs to the shore 
G                   E+/to E 
To the world that lies before 
Am               C
But he can’t hear my sound 
G                     E+/to E
He’s much too in tune with the ground 
F                   G                       C                 Am
He sees only the tide and the surf and the sea 
F                   G                   Am           E
He’s oblivious to me calling 

Am                      C       G                  E+/to E
In years to come I will still call him son
Am            C                   
He’ll have no time to wait 
G                E+/to E
He must see beyond his fate 
F                      G                     C                        Am
He’ll say only the sun and the wind make him free 
F                      G                     Am       E
His only defence will always be

Why walk when you can run 

X2
Am                         
Run like the wind run like the wind 
F                        
Run like the wind run like the wind 
G
Run like the wind run like the wind 
C                                                             E+/to E
Run like the wind run like the wind my son  
Am                        C
Through sheets of time
G                           E+/to E 
On the wings of a bird 
Am             C               
He’ll come to the edge
G                   E+/to E 
To look life in the eyes 

F                     G                      C                       Am
He’ll see only the keys to the world and is dreams 
F                   G              Am            E
His strongest defence will always be 

Why walk when you can run 

 
Run like the wind run like the wind 
Run like the wind run like the wind 
Run like the wind run like the wind 
Run like the wind run like the wind my son  

X2
Run like the wind run like the wind 
No turning back no giving in 
Run like the wind run like the wind 
Run like the wind run like the wind my son
