[Em] [C] [G] [Cm]
[Em] [Am] [G]
[Em] [C] [G]
[Am] [G] [D]
[G] We sailed [Em] up a [C] river, [A] [G] wide as a sea, Slept on the banks [C] on the leaves [G] of a banyan tree,
And all [Em] of these spirit voices [G]
ruled the night.
[Am] [C] [G]
Some stories [A] are [Em] magical, meant [G] to be sung, Songs [Em] from the mouth of the [Am] river when the [G] world [F#] was [Em] young,
And all of [C] these spirit [G] voices ruled the night.
[Em] [Am] [G]
By moon [C] we walked [D] to the [Em] gruho's door, Along a [C] path [Bm] of [G] river stones,
Women with their [C] nursing [D] children seated [Em] on the [A] [G] floor,
We joined the [C] fevers [D] and the [G] broken bones.

[D] [G] [A] [Am] [G]
[Am] [B] Candlelight [C] flickers, [G] falcon calls, A [Em] lime-green lizard [C] scuttles [Am] down the [G] cattle hall,
And [Em] all of these [C] spirit voices [G]
sing, [Am] [G]
[Em] Rainwater, sea [C] water, river water, holy [Em] water,
At this child in mercy [C] healed, [Am] the [G] heaven's only daughter,
And all of [Em] these [C] spirit voices [G]
ruled the [Em] night.
[Am] [G]
My hands [C] were [D] numb, my [Em] feet were [G] limp, I drank a [C] cup [D] of [G] vermouth brew,
Felt the sweetness [D] in the [C] air, the [D] balm of the lightness [Em] in my [G] head,
And I [A] heard the jungle [D] breathe [G] in the [Em] bamboo.
[A] [Em] Salvações, dá licença, no momento eu te lembro que [Em] amanhã,
[Bm] Será lula ou será lenta, depende [A] do [B] coração,
Será breve ou será [D] grande, depende da [G] paixão,
Será sojo ou será sonho, cuidado coração,
Será tântia ou será [D] forte, se [G] esmera coração,
[B] [Am] Me [Bm] convém que amei você no [G] amanhã.
[Em] [G]
[C] [Em] [C] [G]
[Em] [C] [G]
[Am] [G]
[C] [Em] The lord of the [B] earthquake, [C] my [G] trembling bed,
Spatters [Em] in the rhythm [F] of its golden [G]
bed,
[Em] And all of these spirit [C] voices [G]
[C] ruled [G] the night.
[Am] [G]
And [C] all of these spirit voices [G]
ruled the night.
[Am] [G]
And all of these [C] spirit voices [G]
ruled the night.
