Verse 1
     D                         A
It's there on the island, it's there on the shore
Bm                    G
Riding the crest of a wave.
     D                         A
It's up in the highlands, it's down in the cove
Bm                    G
Deep in the dark and damp cave

A                        Bm
Caught in the folds of a fisherman's net
G                        D
And next on the lines of his face
A                        Bm
There is  feeling you'll never forget
G                        A
A spirit that clings to this place

D       G               A
And we belong to these waters
D        G              A
And we are born on this wind
     D          A             G               A
And when we are lost torn and tossed by these waters
G                       D
The spirit will carry us in

D A G D

    D                     A
It's on the horizon, it's drifting offshore
Bm                      G
Out in the seabird's domain
    D                      A
Like ring-bills arising it's drifting once more.
Bm                      G
No matter the wind and the rain.

A                      Bm
Under the water and over the fall
G                      D
Or painting a mystical sky
A                             Bm
The spirit will guide you and lead you back home.
G                       A
Home in the wink of an eye.

D       G               A
And we belong to these waters
D        G              A
And we are born on this wind
     D          A             G               A
And when we are lost torn and tossed by these waters
G                       D
The spirit will carry us in

D A G D

A                       Bm
Deep in December, when everything's still
G                       D
The coastline is silenced by snow
A                       Bm
You must remember those voices until
G                       A
The spirit starts moving below

D A G D x2

A                       Bm
And in the beacon the life giving light
G                       D
For wandering over the trees
A                       Bm
Built by the wonder and stirred by the sight
G                       A
The spirit inside you won't fade.

D       G               A
And we belong to these waters
D        G              A
And we are born on this wind
     D          A             G               A
And when we are lost torn and tossed by these waters
G                       D
The spirit will carry us
D       G               A
We belong to these waters
D       G               A
And we are born on this wind
     D          A             G               A
And when we are lost torn and tossed by these waters
G                       D
The spirit will carry us in
