End Of The Game

[Verse 1] D The fox had done running Bm And the beast is at bay G A He'd run them in circles Bm By the end of the day G D They chased him through bramble Bm They chased him through the fields G They could chase him forever A Bm But the fox would not yield G D And some saw her shadow Bm On the crest of a hill G And the hounds were distracted A D Away from the kill G A Bm* One day we'll reach a great ocean G D A* At the end of a pale afternoon G A Bm And we lay down our heads just like we were sleeping G A Controlled by the drag of the moon [Verse 2] D We ran through the forests Bm And we ran through the streams G A We ran through the heather Bm Though we ran in our dreams G D And you were my lover Bm7 And I was your beau G We ran like the river A D What else did we know? G A Bm* One day we'll reach a great ocean G D A* At the end of a pale afternoon F#m G And the dogs are all worn out A Bm And the horses all lame G Oh the hunters they're hunted A D At the end of the game [Verse 3] D Our love was a river Bm A wild mountain stream G A In a tumbling fury Bm On the edge of a dream G D And they chased us through the brambles Bm And they chased us through the fields G They'd chased us forever A D But the heart would not yield G When the fox has done running A Bm At the end of the day G I'm ready to answer D A I'm ready to pay Fm# G And this river's done running A Bm And my time will come soon D G Carried to the great ocean A D By the drag of the moon
