The Spirit

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



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

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

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