Biography:
David Archibald played his first guitar in Spain, and you can still find the warmth of the Andalusian sunshine in his music. His work on Great Lakes marine heritage Spirit of the Inland Sea has been featured at National and Provincial Parks as well as the Blyth Festival. He was invited to give a workshop on traditional music of the Great Lakes at the North American Folk Alliance Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.
Parks have also commissioned David to write and record collections on their natural and cultural history.

Spirit of the Inland Sea
David Archibald
Standard Tuning
Capo 3
Intro
D A G D x2
Verse 1
D A
It's there on the island, it's there on the shore
Bm G
Riding the crest of a wave.
D A
It's up in the highlands, it's down in the cove
Bm G
Deep in the dark and damp cave
A Bm
Caught in the folds of a fisherman's net
G D
And next on the lines of his face
A Bm
There is feeling you'll never forget
G A
A spirit that clings to this place
D G A
And we belong to these waters
D G A
And we are born on this wind
D A G A
And when we are lost torn and tossed by these waters
G D
The spirit will carry us in
D A G D
D A
It's on the horizon, it's drifting offshore
Bm G
Out in the seabird's domain
D A
Like ring-bills arising it's drifting once more.
Bm G
No matter the wind and the rain.
A Bm
Under the water and over the fall
G D
Or painting a mystical sky
A Bm
The spirit will guide you and lead you back home.
G A
Home in the wink of an eye.
D G A
And we belong to these waters
D G A
And we are born on this wind
D A G A
And when we are lost torn and tossed by these waters
G D
The spirit will carry us in
D A G D
A Bm
Deep in December, when everything's still
G D
The coastline is silenced by snow
A Bm
You must remember those voices until
G A
The spirit starts moving below
D A G D x2
A Bm
And in the beacon the life giving light
G D
For wandering over the trees
A Bm
Built by the wonder and stirred by the sight
G A
The spirit inside you won't fade.
D G A
And we belong to these waters
D G A
And we are born on this wind
D A G A
And when we are lost torn and tossed by these waters
G D
The spirit will carry us
D G A
We belong to these waters
D G A
And we are born on this wind
D A G A
And when we are lost torn and tossed by these waters

The spirit will carry us in
