Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

  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

  /[b]

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

  /[b]

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?

  /[b]

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

  . . . | /[c#] |

  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

  /[b]

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

  . . . | /[c#] |

  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,

  /[b]

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

Final guitar solo
