Spirit on the Waterv2

I hear it's played in A with a capo on the first fret. You can play it this way if

you just transpose a step down, but if you are ambitious you might like this tab,

I created it for the piano. Enjoy!

Spirit on the water

Darkness on the face of the deep

I keep thinking 'bout you, baby,

And I can't hardly sleep.

I'm travelling by land

Travelling through the dawn of the day

You're always on my mind

I can't stay away

I'd forgotten 'bout you

Then you turned up again

I always knew

We were meant to be more than friends

When you're near,

It's just as plain as it can be

I'm wild about you, gal

You ought to be a fool about me

Can't explain

The sources of this hidden pain

You burned your way into my heart

You got the key to my brain

I've been trampling through mud

praying to the powers above

I'm sweating blood

You got a face that begs for love

Life without you

Doesn't mean a thing to me

If I can't have you

I'll throw my love into the deep blue sea

Sometimes I wonder

Why you can't treat me right

You do good all day

And then you do wrong all night

When you're with me

I'm a thousand times happier than I could ever say

What does it matter

What price I pay?

they brag about your sugar

Brag about it all over town

Put some sugar in my bowl

I feel like layin' down

I'm as pale as a ghost

Holding a blossom on a stem

You ever seen a ghost?

No, but you have heard of them

I see you there

I'm blinded by the colors I see

I take good care

of what belongs to me

I hear your name

ringing up and down the line

I'm saying it plain:

These ties are strong enough to bind

Your sweet voice

calls out from some old familiar shrine

I got no choice,

can't believe these things would ever fade from your mind

I could live forever

with you perfectly

You don't ever

have to make a fuss over me

From east to west

ever since the world began

I only mean it for the best

I won't be with you any way I can

I've been in a brawl

Now I'm feeling the wall

I'm going away, baby

I won't be back till fall

High on the hill

you can carry all my thoughts with you

You know my will

This love could tear me in two

I won't be with you in paradise

and it seems so unfair

I can't go to paradise no more,

I killed a man back there

You think I'm over the hill

Think I'm past my prime

Let me see what you got

We can have a whoppin' good time
