Biography:
Sweet Spirit is an American band from Austin, TX.
Ironically, the nine-piece band Sweet Spirit started as a solo project. Austin singer Sabrina Ellis was going through some distressing times: the band that she fronted for several years, Bobby Jealousy, with her then husband was disintegrating along with their relationship. Everything Ellis was working toward was suddenly in free-fall.
She started Sweet Spirit to hone her ability to write and perform on her own.

As this song was played on piano, some of the chords were difficult to
transcribe. As such, I have included alternate chords that sound similar
enough to be used in place of the more complicated ones.
