[C#m] [G#m] [G] [A] [E] [E/]
[C#m]Wise men spoke the [G#m]vision Of the [A]spirit [B]horses [E]way
Like a [C#m]saviour he has a [G#m]mission From the [G]ashes [A]of the [E]plains
All the [C#m]souls of mighty [G#m]warriors Are [A]carried [B]in his [E]veins
All the [C#m]hopes of ancient [G#m]nations Are [G]flowing [A]through his [E]mane
And the [A]spirit [C#m]voices [B]say
Never [C#m]chase a running [G#m]shadow Under[A]neat[B]h the midnight [E]sky
Never [C#m]chase a running [G#m]shadow You will [G]rid[A]e till you [E]die
>From the[C#m] badlands of D[G#m]akota [A] One lone[B] rider[E] came
To [C#m]catch the restless [G#m]spirit They [G]said could [A]not be [E]tamed
And he [C#m]laughed at all the [G#m]legends He [A]called their [B]stories [E]lies
He [C#m]called it super[G#m]stition Foolish [G]dreams of [A]fading [E]tries
And the [A]spirit [C#m]voices [B]cry
Never [C#m]chase a running [G#m]shadow Under[A]neat[B]h the midnight [E]sky
Never [C#m]chase a running [G#m]shadow You will [G]rid[A]e till you [E]die
[C#m] [G#m] [G] [A] [E]
Over [C#m]hills and through dark [G#m]canyons He [A]chased the [B]steel dust [E]grey
But he [C#m]could not catch the [G#m]stallion He [G]could not [A]break his [E]pace
He per[C#m]sued the racing [G#m]phantom [A]To the [B]canyons [E]edge
But running [C#m]shadow jumped the [G#m]chasm Left the o[G]utlaw o[A]n the l[E]edge
And the [A]spirit [C#m]voices [B]say
Never [C#m]chase a running [G#m]shadow Under[A]neat[B]h the midnight [E]sky
