Bob Dylan - Spirit On The Water chords

Highlighted       Show chord diagrams
I hear it's played in A with a capo on the first fret. You can play it this way if 
you just transpose a step down, but if you are ambitious you might like this tab, 
I created it for the piano. Enjoy!

 I always knew 
  C9                             F7sus4/b      F7 
 We were meant to be more than friends 
              Bb 
 When you're near, 
       Eb                        Bb 
 It's just as plain as it can be

 praying to the powers above

 I'm sweating blood

 Life without you

 If I can't have you

 Why you can't treat me right

 When you're with me

 I'm a thousand times happier than I could ever say

 What does it matter 
  Cm            F       Bb    .    Gm7  .  Cm7  
 What price I pay? 
  
  F              Bb     F    Bb    F 
 they brag about your sugar 
  Eb         Bb        Eb       F      Bb 
 Brag about it all over town

 Put some sugar in my bowl

 I feel like layin' down 
  
  G  
  I'm as pale as a ghost 
  Cm   
 Holding a blossom on a stem 
  D7      Gm   
 You ever seen a ghost? 
  C9                             F7sus4/b      F7   
 No, but you have heard of them

 I see you there

 I'm blinded by the colors I see 
  Eb       F#               Bb          Gm7 
 I take good care 
  Cm            F       Bb    .    Gm7  .  Cm7  
 of what belongs to me

 ringing up and down the line 
  Eb       F#               Bb          Gm7 
 I'm saying it plain: 
  Cm            F       Bb    .    Gm7  .  Cm7  
 These ties are strong enough to bind 
  
  F              Bb     F    Bb    F 
 Your sweet voice 
  Eb         Bb        Eb       F      Bb 
 calls out from some old familiar shrine 
  Eb       F#               Bb          Gm7 
 I got no choice, 
  Cm            F       Bb    .    Gm7  .  Cm7  
 can't believe these things would ever fade from your mind 
  
        G 
   I could live forever 
     Cm  
  with you perfectly 
   D7       Gm  
  You don't ever 
  C9                             F7sus4/b      F7  
  have to make a fuss over me 
  
  F              Bb     F    Bb    F 
 From east to west 
  Eb         Bb        Eb       F      Bb 
 ever since the world began 
  Eb       F#               Bb          Gm7 
 I only mean it for the best 
  Cm            F       Bb    .    Gm7  .  Cm7  
 I won't be with you any way I can

 I've been in a brawl 
  Eb         Bb        Eb       F      Bb 
 Now I'm feeling the wall 
  Eb       F#               Bb          Gm7 
 I'm going away, baby

 You know my will 
  Cm7      F      Bb     Eb     Ebm   Bb 
 This love could tear me in two 
  
  G 
   I won't be with you in paradise 
  Cm 
   and it seems so unfair 
  D7          Gm  
  I can't go to paradise no more, 
  C9                             F7sus4/b      F7  
  I killed a man back there 
  
  F              Bb     F    Bb    F 
 You think I'm over the hill 
  Eb         Bb        Eb       F      Bb 
 Think I'm past my prime
