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

Whisper it loud, carry the sound
Of the footsteps alone
When they're heading for home
Through the raining of the dangers
And the grayness of the dawn

Chorus:
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

Watership Down, gather around
There's a story to be told
It's for the young and for the old
You might hear them in the distance
If your ear's to the ground

Chorus

Watership Down, gather around
There's a story to be told
It's for the young and for the old
You might hear them in the distance
If your ear's to the ground

Whisper it loud, carry the sound
Of the footsteps alone
When they're heading for home
Through the raining of the dangers
And the grayness of the dawn

Chorus
