[C] Humba humba, Humba humba, Humba humba,Humba
Verse 1:
[C] On the bank of the river
Stood Running [F] Bear young Indian [C] brave
On the other side of the river stood his [D7] lovely Indian [G] maid
Little [C] White Dove was-a her name
Such a [F] lovely sight to [C] see
[C] But their tribes fought with each other
So their [G] love could never [C] be
|Chorus:
|Running [F] Bear loved Little [C] White Dove
|With a [G7] love big as the [C] sky
|Running [F] Bear loved Little [C] White Dove
|With a [G7] love that couldn't [C] die
Verse 2:
[C] He couldn't swim the raging river cause the [F] river was too [C] wide
He couldn't reach Little White Dove waiting [D7] on the other [G] side
In the [C] moonlight he could see her
Throwing [F] kisses 'cross the [C] waves
Her little heart was beating faster waiting [G] there for her [C] brave
|Chorus:
|Running [F] Bear loved Little [C] White Dove
|With a [G7] love big as the [C] sky
|Running [F] Bear loved Little [C] White Dove
|With a [G7] love that couldn't [C] die
Verse 3:
[C] Running Bear dove in the water little [F] White Dove did the [C] same
[C] And they swam out to each other
Through the [D7] swirling stream they [G] came
As their [C] hands touched and their lips met
The raging [F] river pulled them [C] down
Now they'll always be together in that [G] happy hunting [C] ground
|Chorus:
|Running [F] Bear loved Little [C] White Dove
|With a [G7] love big as the [C] sky
|Running [F] Bear loved Little [C] White Dove
|With a [G7] love that couldn't [C] die
