Paul Simon – Spirit Voices (Guitar)

 G7         G  C    C G C
We sailed up a river wide as a sea

G7                 G
   And slept on the banks

      C           C   G
On the leaves of a banyan tree

C  G7             G   C     C C    G      C C G
And    all of these spirit voices    rule  the night

C     G7         G     C          C G C
  Some stories are magical,   meant to he   sung

G7            G
Songs from the mouth of the river

C        C      G  C
When the world was young

G7              G   C     C C    G    G C C G
And all of these spirit voices    rule  the night

C   G
  By moon

  C
We walk

      D      Em
To the brujo's door

G        C      D      G
    Along a path of   river stones

G             C
Women with their nursing children

D            Em
Seated on the floor

G            C
    We join the fevers

       D       G    D7
And the   broken bones

G    G7         G      C     C   G  C
  The candlelight flickers,   the falcon calls

G7             G            C        C  G C
   A lime-green lizard scuttles down the cabin wall

G7                 G   C     C C    G      C C G
   And all of these spirit voices    rule  the night

C     G7        G       C       C G  C
  Sing rainwater, sea water, river water, holy water

G7                G
Wrap this child in mercy, heal her

C    C  G  C
  Heaven's only daughter

G7             G   C     C C    G    G C C G
 All of these spirit voices    rule  the night

C G       C
My hands were numb

  D        Em
My feet were lead

G          C     D       G
    I drank a cup of   herbal brew

        G             C
Then the sweetness in the air

                 D              Em
Combined with the lightness in my head

     G          C     D               G
And I     heard the jungle breathing in the bamboo

Em D7  G
Sauda

G C     G C
Da licenca um momento

   D
Te lembro

   Em D7 G
Que a--man -- ha

G C       G C
Sera tudo ou sera naoa

  D     Em D7 G
Depende, co-ra  -  cao

G C        G C
Sera breve ou sera grande

  D7   Em D7 G
Depende da pai -- xao

G C     G C
Sera sujo, sera sonho

   D7   Em D7 G
Cuidado, co-ra  -  cao

G C     G C
Sera util, sera tarde

D7   Em D7 G
Se esmera, co-ra  -  cao

G C
E confia

GC        D  G7
Na  forca do amanha

G7         G
Lord of the earthquake

C    C      G C
  My trembling bed

G7             G
   The spider resumes the rhythm

      C  C G   C
Of his golden  thread

G                 G   C     C C    G7   G C C G C
  And all of these spirit voices    rule  the night

G                 G   C     C C    G7   G C C G C
  And all of these spirit voices    rule  the night
