[Bb] [Eb] On [Bb] the bank of the river, stood [Eb] running bear, young [Bb] Indian prey.
On the other side of the river, [C] stood his lovely [F] Indian maid, a [Bb] little white dove.
Was her name [Eb] such a lovely [Bb] sight to see But their tribes fought with each other
So [F] their love could [Gm] never be [Eb] Running Bear, love [Bb] little white dove
[Dm] With a love big [Bb] as the sky [Eb] Running Bear, [Bb] love little white dove
With a [F] love [Bb] that could not die He could not swim the raging river
[Eb] Cause the river [Bb] was too wide He could not reach little white dove
[C] Waiting on the [F] other side [Bb] in the moonlight He could see her [Eb] throwing kisses
[Bb] Across the way her little heart was beating faster
[F] Waiting [Db] there for [Bb] her [Eb] brave Running Bear, love [Gm] little white dove
[F] With a love big [Bb] as the sky [Eb] Running Bear, [Bb] love little white dove
[F] With a love [Bb] that could not die Running Bear, dove in the water
[Eb] Little white dove [Bb] did the same And they swam out to each other
Through [C] the [F] swirling stream they came [Bb] As their hand touched and their lips met
The [Eb] raging river pulled [Bb] them down Now they'll always be together
In [F] that happy hunting [Bb] ground [Eb] Running Bear, [Bb] love little white dove
With [F] a love big as [Bb] the sky [Eb] Running Bear, love [Bb] little white dove
[F] With a love that [Bb] could not die
On the other side of the river, [C] stood his lovely [F] Indian maid, a [Bb] little white dove.
Was her name [Eb] such a lovely [Bb] sight to see But their tribes fought with each other
So [F] their love could [Gm] never be [Eb] Running Bear, love [Bb] little white dove
[Dm] With a love big [Bb] as the sky [Eb] Running Bear, [Bb] love little white dove
With a [F] love [Bb] that could not die He could not swim the raging river
[Eb] Cause the river [Bb] was too wide He could not reach little white dove
[C] Waiting on the [F] other side [Bb] in the moonlight He could see her [Eb] throwing kisses
[Bb] Across the way her little heart was beating faster
[F] Waiting [Db] there for [Bb] her [Eb] brave Running Bear, love [Gm] little white dove
[F] With a love big [Bb] as the sky [Eb] Running Bear, [Bb] love little white dove
[F] With a love [Bb] that could not die Running Bear, dove in the water
