A E/G# F#m7 E A C G Bsus4

(intro)

E E/D

Watership Down, gather around

C#m7

There's a story to be told

A#m7-5

It's for the young and for the old

E

You might hear them in the distance

B

If your ear's to the ground

E E/D

Whisper it loud, carry the sound

C#m7

Of the footsteps alone

A#m7-5

When they're heading for home

E

Through the raining of the dangers

B

And the grayness of the dawn

Bm7 E9 Amaj7

I can feel there's better days

Dmaj7

Well, they're comin', they're comin'

Bm7 E9 F#m

I can see them through the haze

F#m/E D#m7-5

So can you

A E/G# F#m7 E A C G Bsus4

E E/D

Watership Down, gather around

C#m7

There's a story to be told

A#m7-5

It's for the young and for the old

E

You might hear them in the distance

B

If your ear's to the ground

Bm7 E9 Amaj7

I can feel there's better days

Dmaj7

Well, they're comin', they're comin'

Bm7 E9 F#m

I can see them through the haze

F#m/E D#m7-5

So can you

A E/G# F#m7 E A C G Bsus4

A E/G# F#m7 E A C G Bsus4

Oo, oo, oo

E E/D

Watership Down, gather around

C#m7

There's a story to be told

A#m7-5

It's for the young and for the old

E

You might hear them in the distance

B

If your ear's to the ground

E E/D

Whisper it loud, carry the sound

C#m7

Of the footsteps alone

A#m7-5

When they're heading for home

E

Through the raining of the dangers

B

And the grayness of the dawn

Bm7 E9 Amaj7

I can feel there's better days

Dmaj7

Well, they're comin', they're comin'

Bm7 E9 F#m

I can see them through the haze

F#m/E D#m7-5

So can you

A E/G# F#m7 A E/G# F#m7 A E/G# F#m7 E

A E/G# F#m7

Oo

E A E/G# F#m7

Oo, oo,
