The Spirit

Am                 D              
Don't place your trust in foolish 
 G         Am
promises sworn
Am           D                 
Nor cryptic message scrawled 
Em        Am
upon every wall
C              G         F    E
Street corner justice beware
Am        F              G      
The spirit will find you always 
    Am   G   Dsus2   E
be fair

Am           D                    
The shallow verse once read means 
 G         Am
nothing at all
Am           D             
Nor fearful gestures made for 
   Em         Am
instant recall
C             G              F  
In lies your heart will not 
    E
share
Am         F      G            Am
The spirit inside used without care

Em        C                 D   
The spirit that guides you 
        Em
follow it through
Em           C           D      
To the spirit inside you always 
     Em
be true
G    D              C
You know you'll despair
Em           C          D       
If the spirit inside is used 
      Em
without care

Am          D             G     
The battlefield of glory pales 
     Am
into rust

Am          D                 Em
The river flows much thicker fed
            Am
 by each thrust
C          G            F     E
No beast alive does compare
Am        F           G      Am
The spirit beside you everywhere

Am            D             
Let not your head be turned by 
    G         Am
tainted reward
Am             D             Em 
And dreams of fortune won 
      Am
forever to hoard
C                G           F     E
Your conscience could not repair
Am        F       G             Am
The spirit inside used without care

           G             Am       
'Cause it will be your shelter, 
        C        G
help you how to decide
        G            Am           
And it will be your helper should 
      C           D
your loyalties divide

Em        C                 D   
The spirit that guides you 
        Em
follow it through
Em           C           D      
To the spirit inside you always 
     Em
be true
G    D              C
You know you'll despair
Em           C          D       
If the spirit inside is used 
      Em
without care



Am          D             G     
The ash of pages swept before 
         Am
the cruel wind
Am            D              Em 
The loss of choices praises 
         Am
no-one will sing
C            G            F     E
No clues to how you will fare
Am        F               G     
The spirit implores you tread 
         Am
where you dare

Am              D              G
The dust lies thick on casket 
             Am
rich or quite poor
Am           D              Em  
Distinction disappears the worm 
         Am
both deplore
C           G              F     E
The candle burns out once more
Am            F            G    
But the spirit inside you won't 
      Am
be ignored

Em        C                 D   
The spirit that guides you 
        Em
follow it through
Em           C           D      
To the spirit inside you always 
     Em
be true
G    D              C
You know you'll despair
Em           C          D       
If the spirit inside is used 
      Em
without care
