More songs by Van Morrison


This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

Album version guitar is capoed at 1st fret

 D
    We were born before the wind
 D
    Also younger than the sun
 A
    Ere the bonnie boat was won
                          D
    As we sailed into the mystic

 D
    Hark now hear the sailors cry
 D
    Smell the sea and feel the sky
 A
    Let your soul and spirit fly
             D
    Into the mystic

               F#m          G
                  When that foghorn blows
                            D           D
                  I will be coming home
               F#m          G
                  When that foghorn blows
               A
                  I want to hear it
                    A
                  I don't have to fear it

       D
    And I want to rock your gypsy soul
 D
    Just like way back in the days of old
 A
    And magnificently we will float
             D
    Into the mystic
