F Gm
There's a spirit floating on the water
F/A Bb
There's a shadow lying down by the shore
C Dm
Wasn't he there a year before?
[Verse]
F Gm
A sacrifice for the coat he's wearing
Bb
A 'paradise' for the lady
C Dm C Dm
Who dares colour him red upon the snow?

We carry the bur - den upon our shoulder

Don't you care about the state you're in
