Into The Mystic

Words & Music:

Van Morrison

 

[Originally in Eb]

 

D

We were born before the wind, also younger than the sun.

A                                                  D

'Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic.

D

Hark, now hear the sailors cry; smell the sea and feel the sky.

A                                     D

Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

 

F#m                        G           D

And when that foghorn blows, I will be coming home.

F#m                        G          A

And when the foghorn blows, I want to hear it, I don't have to fear it.

 

And I want to rock your gypsy soul.

Just like way back in the days of old.

And magnificently we will flow into the mystic.

 

When that foghorn blows, you know I will be coming home.

And when that foghorn whistle blows, I got to hear it.

I don't have to fear it.

 

And I want to rock your gypsy soul

Just like way back in the days of old

And together we will flow into the mystic

Come on girl...

 

INSTRUMENTAL OVER:  D  A  D  [repeat, ad lib and out]
