Spirit On The Water chords by Bob Dylan

Chords with lyrics

I hear it's played in A augmentedA with a capo on the first fret. You can play it this way if
you just transpose a step down, but if you are ambitious you might like this tab,
I created it for the piano. Enjoy!

 FF       Bb majorBb   FF  Bb majorBb  FF
 Spirit on the water
 Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb    FF   Bb majorBb
 Darkness on the face of the deep
 Eb MajorEb    F#F#        Bb majorBb     Gm7Gm7
 I keep thinking 'bout you, baby,
 C minorCm      FF    Bb majorBb  .  Gm7Gm7 . Cm7Cm7
 And I can't hardly sleep.
 .  FF     .   Bb majorBb
 I'm travelling by land
 Eb MajorEb                  Bb majorBb
 Travelling through the dawn of the day
 Eb MajorEb        F#F#   Bb majorBb   Gm7Gm7
 You're always on my mind
 Cm7Cm7   FF   Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb   EbmEbm  Bb majorBb
 I can't stay away
 G+G
 I'd forgotten 'bout you
 C minorCm
 Then you turned up again
 D7D7    G minorGm
 I always knew
 C9C9               F7sus4/B   F7F7
 We were meant to be more than friends
       Bb majorBb
 When you're near,
    Eb MajorEb            Bb majorBb
 It's just as plain as it can be
 Eb MajorEb  F#F#      Bb majorBb    Gm7Gm7
 I'm wild about you, gal
   Cm7Cm7      FF      Bb majorBb   Gm7Gm7  Cm7Cm7 FF
 You ought to be a fool about me
 FF       Bb majorBb   FF  Bb majorBb  FF
 Can't explain
 Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb    FF   Bb majorBb
 The sources of this hidden pain
 Eb MajorEb    F#F#        Bb majorBb     Gm7Gm7
 You burned your way into my heart
 C minorCm      FF    Bb majorBb  .  Gm7Gm7 . Cm7Cm7
 You got the key to my brain

 FF       Bb majorBb   FF  Bb majorBb  FF
 I've been trampling through mud
 Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb    FF   Bb majorBb
 praying to the powers above
 Eb MajorEb    F#F#        Bb majorBb     Gm7Gm7
 I'm sweating blood
 Cm7Cm7   FF   Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb   EbmEbm  Bb majorBb
 You got a face that begs for love

 G+G
 Life without you
  C minorCm
 Doesn't mean a thing to me
 D7D7   G minorGm
 If I can't have you
 C9C9               F7sus4/B   F7F7
 I'll throw my love into the deep blue sea

 FF       Bb majorBb   FF  Bb majorBb  FF
 Sometimes I wonder
 Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb    FF   Bb majorBb
 Why you can't treat me right
 Eb MajorEb    F#F#        Bb majorBb     Gm7Gm7
 You do good all day
 And then you do wrong all night
 FF       Bb majorBb   FF  Bb majorBb  FF
 When you're with me
 Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb    FF   Bb majorBb
 I'm a thousand times happier than I could ever say
 Eb MajorEb    F#F#        Bb majorBb     Gm7Gm7
 What does it matter
 C minorCm      FF    Bb majorBb  .  Gm7Gm7 . Cm7Cm7
 What price I pay?

 FF       Bb majorBb   FF  Bb majorBb  FF
 they brag about your sugar
 Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb    FF   Bb majorBb
 Brag about it all over town
 Eb MajorEb    F#F#        Bb majorBb     Gm7Gm7
 Put some sugar in my bowl
 Cm7Cm7   FF   Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb   EbmEbm  Bb majorBb
 I feel like layin' down

 G+G
 I'm as pale as a ghost
 C minorCm
 Holding a blossom on a stem
 D7D7   G minorGm
 You ever seen a ghost?
 C9C9               F7sus4/B   F7F7
 No, but you have heard of them

 FF       Bb majorBb   FF  Bb majorBb  FF
 I see you there
 Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb    FF   Bb majorBb
 I'm blinded by the colors I see
 Eb MajorEb    F#F#        Bb majorBb     Gm7Gm7
 I take good care
 C minorCm      FF    Bb majorBb  .  Gm7Gm7 . Cm7Cm7
 of what belongs to me

 I hear your name
 Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb    FF   Bb majorBb
 ringing up and down the line
 Eb MajorEb    F#F#        Bb majorBb     Gm7Gm7
 I'm saying it plain:
 C minorCm      FF    Bb majorBb  .  Gm7Gm7 . Cm7Cm7
 These ties are strong enough to bind

 FF       Bb majorBb   FF  Bb majorBb  FF
 Your sweet voice
 Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb    FF   Bb majorBb
 calls out from some old familiar shrine
 Eb MajorEb    F#F#        Bb majorBb     Gm7Gm7
 I got no choice,
 C minorCm      FF    Bb majorBb  .  Gm7Gm7 . Cm7Cm7
 can't believe these things would ever fade from your mind

    G+G
  I could live forever
   C minorCm
 with you perfectly
  D7D7    G minorGm
 You don't ever
 C9C9               F7sus4/B   F7F7
 have to make a fuss over me

 FF       Bb majorBb   FF  Bb majorBb  FF
 From east to west
 Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb    FF   Bb majorBb
 ever since the world began

 I won't be with you any way I can

 FF       Bb majorBb   FF  Bb majorBb  FF
 I've been in a brawl
 Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb    FF   Bb majorBb
 Now I'm feeling the wall
 Eb MajorEb    F#F#        Bb majorBb     Gm7Gm7
 I'm going away, baby
 C minorCm      FF    Bb majorBb  .  Gm7Gm7 . Cm7Cm7
 I won't be back till fall

 FF       Bb majorBb   FF  Bb majorBb  FF
 High on the hill
 Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb    FF   Bb majorBb
 you can carry all my thoughts with you
 Eb MajorEb    F#F#        Bb majorBb     Gm7Gm7
 You know my will
 Cm7Cm7   FF   Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb   EbmEbm  Bb majorBb
 This love could tear me in two

 G+G
  I won't be with you in paradise
 C minorCm
  and it seems so unfair
 D7D7     G minorGm
 I can't go to paradise no more,
 C9C9               F7sus4/B   F7F7
 I killed a man back there

 FF       Bb majorBb   FF  Bb majorBb  FF
 You think I'm over the hill
 Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb    FF   Bb majorBb
 Think I'm past my prime

 We can have a whoppin' good time
