Dm            D9                Dsus4    Dm
When you feel down and you've nobody to turn to
C                     A#
When you feel you're about to give up
Dm           D9       Dsus4        Dm
The sun goes down and darkness surrounds you
    C                   A#
And it's runnin' dry in your lovin' cup

Chorus:
Dm               A#
Cast the spirit, cast it out
    Dm                      A#
If it's in your body, then let it out
Dm                A#
Put out the fire, let it cool down
   Gm                        A
If it's in your tears, then let it drown
Dm              A#
Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo
Dm              A#
Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo

You can't ignore the feeling inside you
In your mind you're without a friend
The spirit is there, it's in every doorway
You say to yourself, will it ever end

Chorus

When you feel down and have nobody to turn to
You say to yourself, why can't it be
The sun goes down and darkness surrounds you
You feel you want to be free

Chorus

Cast the spirit
Cast the spirit
Cast the spirit ...
