Tom: Am
Am
There's godlike
C
And warlike
F
And strong
G
Like only some show
Am
And there's sad like
C
And madlike
F
And had
G
Like we know
Am G F
But by my life be I spirit
[Chorus]
Am G F
And by my heart be I woman
Am G F
And by my eyes be I open
Am G F
And by my hands be I whole
[Verse 2]
Am
They say slowly
C
Brings the least shock
F G
But no matter how slow I walk
Am
There are traces
C
Empty spaces
F G
And doors and doors of locks
[Chorus]
Am G F
But by my life be I spirit
Am G F
And by my heart be I woman
Am G F
And by my eyes be I open
Am G F
And by my hands be I whole
[Verse 3]
Am
You young ones
C
You're the next ones
F G
And I hope you choose it well
Am
Though you try hard
C
You may fall prey
F G
To the jaded jewel
[Chorus]
Am G F
But by your lives be you spirit
Am G F
And by your hearts be you women
Am G F
And by your eyes be you open
Am G F
And by your hands be you whole
[Verse 4]
Am
Listen, there are waters
C
Hidden from us
F G
In the maze we find them still
Am
We'll take you to them
C
You take your young ones
F G
May they take their own in turn
[Chorus]
Am G F
But by your lives be you spirit
Am G F
And by your hearts be you women
Am G F
And by your eyes be you open
Am G F
And by your hands be you whole
