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

>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          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
