Verse 1
D MajorD A augmentedA
It's there on the island, it's there on the shore
B minorBm G+G
Riding the crest of a wave.
D MajorD A augmentedA
It's up in the highlands, it's down in the cove
B minorBm G+G
Deep in the dark and damp cave
A augmentedA B minorBm
Caught in the folds of a fisherman's net
G+G D MajorD
And next on the lines of his face
A augmentedA B minorBm
There is feeling you'll never forget
G+G A augmentedA
A majorA spirit that clings to this place
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
And we belong to these waters
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
And we are born on this wind
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA
And when we are lost torn and tossed by these waters
G+G D MajorD
The spirit will carry us in
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
D MajorD A augmentedA
It's on the horizon, it's drifting offshore
B minorBm G+G
Out in the seabird's domain
D MajorD A augmentedA
Like ring-bills arising it's drifting once more.
B minorBm G+G
No matter the wind and the rain.
A augmentedA B minorBm
Under the water and over the fall
G+G D MajorD
Or painting a mystical sky
A augmentedA B minorBm
The spirit will guide you and lead you back home.
G+G A augmentedA
Home in the wink of an eye.
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
And we belong to these waters
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
And we are born on this wind
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA
And when we are lost torn and tossed by these waters
G+G D MajorD
The spirit will carry us in
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
A augmentedA B minorBm
Deep in December, when everything's still
G+G D MajorD
The coastline is silenced by snow
A augmentedA B minorBm
You must remember those voices until
G+G A augmentedA
The spirit starts moving below
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G D MajorD x2
A augmentedA B minorBm
And in the beacon the life giving light
G+G D MajorD
For wandering over the trees
A augmentedA B minorBm
Built by the wonder and stirred by the sight
G+G A augmentedA
The spirit inside you won't fade.
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
And we belong to these waters
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
And we are born on this wind
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA
And when we are lost torn and tossed by these waters
G+G D MajorD
The spirit will carry us
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
We belong to these waters
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
And we are born on this wind
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA
And when we are lost torn and tossed by these waters
G+G D MajorD
The spirit will carry us in
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
