Written By Van Morrison
[Eb]
[Eb] We were born before the wind
[Eb] Also younger than the sun
[Bb] 'Ere the bonny boat was won
[Bb] As we sailed into t[Eb]he mystic
[Eb] Hark, now, hear the sailor's cry
[Eb] Smell the sea and feel the sky
[Bb] Let your soul and spirit fly
[Bb] Into the[Eb] mystic.
[Gm] When that foghorn blows[Ab], I will be [Eb]comin' home, Mmm hmm hm
[Gm] When that foghorn bl[Ab]ows, I wanna hear it, [Bb]I don't have to fear it
[Bb] And[Eb] I wanna rock you gypsy soul
[Eb] Just like way back in the days of old
[Bb] And magnificently we will float
[Bb] Into the[Eb] mystic
(TWO-SAX SOLO) Eb ... Bb ... Eb
[Gm] When that foghorn bl[Am]ows,[Eb] you know I will be comin' home
[Gm] [Ab] And when that foghorn whistle blows,[Bb] I've gotta hear it, I don't have
to fear it
[Eb] And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
[Eb] Just like way back in the days of old
[Bb] And together we will float
[Bb] Into the [Eb]mystic ............... Come on girl!
(TWO-SAX SOLO) Eb ... Bb ... Eb
......[Eb].. Too late to stop now-o-[Bb]ow!....[Eb].. (THE END)
