Spirit On The Water
Barclay James Harvest
Spirit on the water Les Holroyd Barclay James Harvest Key:F Note: ( is -5) [Verse] There’s a spirit floating on the water There’s a shadow lying down by the shore Wasn’t he there a year before? [Verse] A sacrifice for the coat he’s wearing A ’paradise’ for the lady Who dares colour him red upon the snow? [Interlude] [Chorus] We carry the bur - den upon our shoulder We car - ry their lives in the palm of our hand Don’t you care about the state you’re in Or don’t you understand? [Instrumental] (x2) (x2) (x2) (x2) (x2) (x2) (x2) (x2) [Verse] See the spirit floating on the water See the shadow lying down by the shore Wasn’t he there some years before? [Chorus] We carry the bur - den upon our shoulder We car - ry their lives in the palm of our hand Don’t you care about the state you’re in Or don’t you understand? [Outro] (x2) (x2) (x2) (x2) (x2) (x2) (x2) (x2) (x2)
