VERSE: (Verses are played same as Intro)
A5A5
The light is long the sun is low
G5G5
I`m riding fast across this dusty road
F5F5
But I don`t want to be,
G5G5 A5A5 A5A5
No I don`t want to be
A5A5
Above the ridge an eagle flies
G5G5
In lazy circles in the western skies
F5F5
I want to fly with him
G5G5 A5A5 A5A5
I want to walk the spirit trail
A5A5 A5A5 G5G5 G5G5
A5A5 A5A5 G5G5 G5G5
VERSE:
A5A5
I`ve seen them come I`ve seen them go
G5G5
Off to the oilfields and rodeos
F5F5
To find a better way,
G5G5 A5A5 A5A5
They leave their native soil
A5A5
But I can hear a different song
G5G5
The drum within my heart is beating strong
F5F5
I want to follow it,
G5G5 A5A5 A5A5
I got to walk the spirit trail
CHORUS:
C majorC

Let every creature I see

Woh oh oh oh oh
A minorAm G+G
Be a brother and a friend to me
C majorC G+G
Let every step that I take
DmDm A minorAm G+G
Leave the footprints of a warrior
A5A5
Along the spirit trail
A5A5 A5A5 G5G5 G5G5

VERSE:
A5A5
They took the land, they took control
G5G5
They robbed my father of his very soul
F5F5
To be like one of them,
G5G5 A5A5 A5A5
To be like one of them
A5A5
But I was born a native son
G5G5
And I will never be another one
F5F5
To give it all away
G5G5 A5A5 A5A5
I`ve got to walk the spirit trail
