      D            G      C               D           G
    Spirit on the water, darkness on the face of the deep,
C           D#             G        Em        Am              D  G Em Am
    I keep thinking 'bout you, baby,     and I can't hardly sleep.
          D            G      C                     D           G
    I'm travelling by land, travelling through the dawn of the day,
C                 D#     G     Em      Am                D          G  C G
    you're always on my mind,                 I  can't       stay away.

     E                        Am
    I'd forgotten 'bout you, then you turned up again,
B7                  Em     A                               D
    I always knew          we were meant to be more than friends.

D7                G          C               D      G
    When you're near, it's just as plain as it can be,
C        D#         G          Em        Am             D         G  Em Am
    I'm wild about you, gal,         you ought to be a fool about me.
D7            G        C               D      G
    Can't explain the sources of this hidden pain,
         C                D#             G    Em
    you burned your way         into my heart,
    Am           D         G    Em Am
    you got the key to my brain.
               D7                G    C             D       G
    I've been trampling through mud praying to the powers above
C         D#       G      Em                Am         D       G    C G
    I'm sweating blood,           you got a face that begs for love.

E                     Am
    Life without you doesn't mean a thing to me,
B7                  Em                  A                      D
    if I can't have you, I'll throw my love into the deep blue sea.

     D7          G      C             D       G
    Sometimes I wonder why you can't treat me right,
C          D#        G    Em        Am           D         G   Em Am
    you do good all day,        and then you do wrong all night
      D7             G
    When you're with me,
             C                     D                G
    I'm a thousand times happier than I could ever say,
C    D#           G         Em      Am           D      G   Em - Am
    what does it matter,                  what price I pay ?
          D7              G       C            D        G
    They brag about your sugar, brag about it all over town
C            D#          G      Em       Am         D      G   C G
    put some sugar in my bowl,         I feel like layin' down.

            E                        Am
    I'm as pale as a ghost holding a blossom on a stem.
B7                   Em            A                          D
    You ever seen a ghost? No?        but you have heard of them.

    D7          G          C             D        G
    I see you there, I'm blinded by the colors I see,
C      D#        G      Em         Am    D        G  Em Am D
    I take good care           of what belongs to me.

( G C D G C )

    D            G    C              D        G
    I hear your name ringing up and down the line,
C        D#         G       Em          Am                D        G   Em Am
    I'm saying it plain,          these ties are strong enough to bind.
    D7        G                 C              D       G
    Your sweet voice calls out from some old familiar shrine,
C      D#       G    Em
    I have no choice,
                    Am                     D              G   C G
    can't believe these things would ever fade from your mind.

E                        Am
    I could live forever with you perfectly,
B7            Em    A                       D
    you don't ever have to make a fuss over me.

     D7           G    C               D      G
    From east to west, ever since the world began,
C                  D#       G   Em
    I only mean it for the best,
      Am                 D         G  Em Am D
    I won't be with you any way I can.

( G C D G C )

          D7         G         C            D          G
    I've been in a brawl,         now I'm feeling the wall,
C       D#           G      Em      Am        D         G   Em Am
    I'm going away, baby,         I won't be back till fall.
     D           G             C             D           G
    High on the hill, you can carry all my thoughts with you,
C         D#    G       Em          Am          D          G  C G
    you know my will,          this love could tear me in two.

                E                      Am
    I won't be with you in paradise,           and it seems so unfair,
       B7         Em                  A                          D
    I can't go to paradise no more,        I killed a man back there.

                   D7       G      C         D      G
    You think I'm over the hill, think I'm past my prime,
    C     D#           G   Em
   let me see what you got,
    Am              D           G    Em Am D
    we can have a whoppin' good time.
