VERSE: (Verses are played same as Intro)
A5
The light is long the sun is low
G5
I`m riding fast across this dusty road
F5
But I don`t want to be,
G5         A5 A5
No I don`t want to be

 A5
Above the ridge an eagle flies
G5
In lazy circles in the western skies
F5
I want to fly with him
G5          A5     A5
I want to walk the spirit trail

A5 A5 G5 G5
A5 A5 G5 G5


VERSE:
 A5
I`ve seen them come I`ve seen them go
G5
Off to the oilfields and rodeos
F5
To find a better way,
 G5           A5  A5
They leave their native soil

A5
But I can hear a different song
G5
The drum within my heart is beating strong
F5
I want to follow it,
G5         A5     A5
I got to walk the spirit trail


CHORUS:
 C          G
Let every creature I see
       Dm
Woh oh oh oh oh
           Am   G
Be a brother and a friend to me

 C           G
Let every step that I take
Dm             Am  G
 Leave the footprints of a warrior
      A5
Along the spirit trail

A5 A5 G5 G5
A5 A5 G5 G5

 F5  F5  F5 F5 Esus4 E
Heya heya heya hi yoh oh

Heya heya heya hi yoh oh

VERSE:
 A5
They took the land, they took control
 G5
They robbed my father of his very soul
F5
To be like one of them,
G5         A5  A5
To be like one of them

A5
But I was born a native son
G5
And I will never be another one
F5
To give it all away
 G5          A5     A5
I`ve got to walk the spirit trail
