C#5   G#5   G5   A5   E5   E5 
 
C#5                G#5             A5      B5      E5 
Wise men spoke the vision   Of the spirit horses way 
        C#5              G#5                G5     A5      E5 
Like a  saviour he has a mission   From the ashes of the plains 
        C#5             G#5            A5       B5      E5 
All the souls of mighty warriors   Are carried in his veins 
        C#5              G#5           G5       A5           E5 
All the hopes of ancient nations   Are flowing through his mane 
 

        A5      C#5    B5 
And the spirit voices say 
      C#5             G#5           A5   B5              E5 
Never chase a running shadow   Underneath the midnight sky 
      C#5             G#5               G5  A5          E5 
Never chase a running shadow   You will ride till you die 
 

         C#5           G#5    A5        B5     E5 
>From the badlands of Dakota   One lone rider came 
   C#5                G#5          G5          A5      E5 
To catch the restless spirit  They said could not be tamed 
 

       C#5                G#5          A5            B5       E5 
And he laughed at all the legends   He called their stories lies 
   C#5            G#5               G5         A5      E5 
He called it superstition   Foolish dreams of fading tries 
 

        A5      C#5    B5 
And the spirit voices cry 
      C#5             G#5           A5   B5              E5 
Never chase a running shadow   Underneath the midnight sky 
      C#5             G#5               G5  A5          E5 
Never chase a running shadow   You will ride till you die 
 

C#5   G#5   G5   A5   E5 
 
     C#5                    G#5          A5          B5          E5 
Over hills and through dark canyons   He chased the steel dust grey 
       C#5                 G#5           G5         A5         E5 
But he could not catch the stallion   He could not break his pace 
      C#5             G#5       A5      B5       E5 
He persued the racing phantom   To the canyons edge 
            C#5               G#5               G5      A5      E5 
But running shadow jumped the chasm   Left the outlaw on the ledge 
 

        A5      C#5    B5 
And the spirit voices say 
      C#5             G#5           A5   B5              E5 
Never chase a running shadow   Underneath the midnight sky 
      C#5             G#5               G5  A5          E5 
Never chase a running shadow   You will ride till you die 
      C#5             G#5               G5  A5          E5 
Never chase a running shadow   You will ride till you die 
 

C#5   G#5   G5   A5   E5   (fade out)
