Ami     D        E                  Ami
1. Don't place your trust in foolish promises sworn
   Ami          D               E          Ami
   Nor cryptic message scrawled upon every wall
   C          G             F
   Street corner justice beware
   Ami        F              G           Ami
   The spirit will find you always be fair

2. The shallow verse once read means nothing at all
   Nor fearful gestures made for instant recall
   In lies your heart will not share
   The spirit inside used without care

   Ami    F               G             Ami
R: The spirit that guides you follow it through
   Ami          F          G           Ami
   To the spirit inside you always be true
   C    G           F
   You know you'll despair
   Ami           F       G             Ami
   If the spirit inside is used without care

3. The battlefield of glory pales into rust
   The river flows much thicker fed by each thrust
   No beast alive does compare
   The spirit beside you everywhere

4. Let not your head be turned by tainted reward
   And dreams of fortune won forever to hoard
   Your conscience could not repair
   The spirit inside used without care
   F                       G      F                 G    F
   'Cause it will be your shelter, help you how to decide
   G      F                       G
   And it will be your helper should your loyalties divide

5. The ash of pages swept before the cruel wind
   The loss of choices praises no-one will sing
   No clues to how you will fare
   The spirit implores you tread where you dare

6. The dust lies thick on casket rich or quite poor
   Distinction disappears the worm both deplore
   The candle burns out once more
   But the spirit inside you won't be ignored
