[Verse 1]
Dsus2                   D
   The fox had done running
Bm
   And the beast is at bay
G                   Asus2
   He'd run them in circles
       Bm
By the end of the day

  G                         Dsus2
And they chased him through bramble
  D                             Bm
And they chased him through the fields
                     G
They could chase him forever
Asus2                    Bm
   But the fox would not yield

    G            Dsus2
And some saw her shadow
         D        Bm
On the crest of a hill
                       G
And the hounds were distracted
    A             D        D/F#
   Away from the kill

G                  A              Bm*    D/F#
   One day we'll reach a great ocean
G                  D/F#        Asus2         D/F#
   At the end of a pale afternoon
G                      A                       Bm          D/F#
   And we lay down our heads just like we were sleeping
G                    Asus2
   Controlled by the drag of the moon

[Verse 2]
Dsus2                   D
   We ran through the forests
Bm
   And we ran through the streams
G                     Asus2
   We ran through the heather
         Bm
Until we ran in our dreams

    G           Dsus2
And you were my lover
  D            Bm7
And I was your beau
                G
We ran like the river
Asus2               D         D/F#
   What else did we know?

G                A                  Bm*       D/F#
   One day we'll reach a great ocean
G                  D/F#        A*
   At the end of a pale afternoon

         D/F#        G
And the dogs are all worn out
A                     Bm
   And the horses all lame
       D/F#            G
Oh the hunters they're hunted
A                    Bb7 Ab Fm Ab
   At the end of the game

[Verse 3]
Dsus2               D
   Our love was a river
      Bm
   A wild mountain stream
G                Asus2
   In a tumbling fury
       Bm
On the edge of a dream

         G                     Dsus2
And they chased us through the brambles
            D                  Bm
And they chased us through the fields
                    G
They'd chased us forever
Asus2                      D
   But the heart would not yield

          D/F#        G
When the fox has done running
A                    Bm
   At the end of the day
  D/F#       G
I'm ready to answer
D               A
   I'm ready to pay

         D/F#         G
And this river's done running
A                        Bm
   And my time will come soon
        D/F#         G
Carried to the great ocean
A                     D
   By the drag of the moon
