C                 Am
Spirit of the ancestors
    Dm                 G
You lived your life so we could be
C                  Am
Spirit of the ancestors
   Dm                G
We sing this song to honour thee

    C                  F
You lived your life on Earth
       Dm
By the flames of the fire
    G
The waves of the sea
        C                F
And the gift of greatest worth
       Dm
Is the gift of life
    G
You gave to me

C                  Am
Spirit of the ancestors
    Dm                 G

We sing this song to honour thee

C                  F
I feel you deep within
Dm                   G
Spirit of the sacred waters
C                    F
Spirit of the sacred wind
Dm                   G
We are your sons and daughters

C                  Am
Spirit of the ancestors
Dm                     G
You lived your life so we could be
C                  Am
Spirit of the ancestors
Dm                   G
We sing this song to honour thee
