Running Bear 

Running Bear  
by Sonny James
 
C
On the banks of a river
             F                  C
Stood Runnin' Bear young Indian Brave
                               
On the other side of the water 
D7                      G7
Stood his lovely Indian maid
       C
Little White Dove was-a  her name
       F               C
Such a lovely sight to see
 
But their tribes fought with each other
         G7               C
So their love could never be
 
        F                 C
Runnin' Bear loved little White Dove
       G7              C
With a love big as the sky
        F                 C
Runnin' Bear loved little White Dove
       G7                 C
With a love that couldn't die
 
 
Runnin' Bear dove in the water
       F                  C
Little White Dove did the same
 
And they swam out to each other
       D7                        G7
Through the swirling stream they came
         C
As their hands touched and their lips met
           F                 C
the ragin' river pulled them down
 
Now they'll always be together
        G7            C
In that happy hurting ground   
 
        F                 C
Runnin' Bear loved little White Dove
       G7              C
With a love big as the sky
        F                 C
Runnin' Bear loved little White Dove
       G7                 C
With a love that couldn't die
