Willie Nelson – Spirit (Guitar)

Em
White Eagle crossed the Big Horn River

D                     Em
His ponies piled with furs

Em                          C
Snow flower waited with the women of the tribe

D               Em
Too many Moons, he'd been gone from her

Em
As the sunset led him homeward

D                                Em
He saw clouds of smoke above the trees

Em                          C
He cut his ponies loose and rode just like the wind

D                                   Em
He could smell the white man on the breeze

A
Through the dust he saw the ashes

Em
Of his family and home

A
Sole survivor of a people

C                        B
Whose spirit he must carry all alone

G    G/F#    Em
He rides the horizon

C                         D
Silhouette painted on the moonlit sky

G          G/F#      Em
And he cries for the ones he loves

C
With an anger in his blood

Em
A pain inside his heart

      C           D    Em
And a spirit that never dies

Em
White Eagle watched the fall of Custer

D                                Em
Died a hundred times at wounded knee

Em                                C
Walked with his homeless brothers down the Trail of Tears

D               Em
On his path through history

A
And through the years he sees the ashes

Em
Of his family and home

A
Sole survivor of a people

C                        B
Whose spirit he still carries all alone

G    G/F#    Em
He rides the horizon

C                         D
Silhouette painted on the moonlit sky

G          G/F#      Em
And he cries for the ones he loves

C
With an anger in his blood

Em
A pain inside his heart

      C           D    Em
And a spirit that never dies

G    G/F#    Em
He rides the horizon

C                         D
Silhouette painted on the moonlit sky

G          G/F#      Em
And he cries for the ones he loves

C
With an anger in his blood

Em
A pain inside his heart

      C           D    Em
And a spirit that never dies

    C           D    Em
And the spirit must never die
