John Martyn played this on electric guitar
in open tuning - CFCCGD
Here is a much simpler version for acoustic guitar
which you can play in standard tuning,
or,if you want to play along with the recording,
then tune all strings down a half step...

Just that..[A]. sweet little m[F#m11]ystery that br[D]eaks my he[E]art,
Just that..[A]. sweet little m[F#m11]ystery makes me c[E]ry,
Oy, that...[A] sweet little m[F#m11]ystery that's [D]in your he[E]art,
Just that..[A]. sweet little m[F#m11]ystery makes me t[E]ry!
[A] Friends all tell me that I [F#m11]look so sad,
[D] [E]
And they don't need to ask me why------,
[A] They know the reason that I [F#m11]feel so bad,
[D] Since the night you said..[E]. good - bye!
[Bm9] It's not the letters that you just don't write,
[F#m11] It's not the arms of some new friend,
[Bm9] It's not the crying in the dead of the night,
That [F#m11]keeps me hanging on, wai[E]ting for the end!
Just that..[A]. sweet little m[F#m11]ystery that's [D]in your he[E]art,
Just that..[A]. sweet little m[F#m11]ystery makes me c[E]ry,
Oo, that...[A] sweet little m[F#m11]ystery that's [D]in your he[E]art,
It's just that..[A]. sweet little m[F#m11]ystery makes me t[E]ry!
[A] I watch the street, I watch the [F#m11]radio,
[D] [E]
I don't need to turn... it on------,
[A] Another friend comes by, and [F#m11]tries to say hello,
[D] Another weekend's al--[E]--most gone!
[Bm9] It's not the letters that you just don't write,
[F#m11] It's not the arms of some new friend,
[Bm9] It's not the crying in the depth of the night,
That [F#m11]keeps me hanging on, just wai[E]ting for the end!
It's that..[A]. sweet little m[F#m11]ystery that's [D]in your he[E]art,
Just that..[A]. sweet little m[F#m11]ystery makes me c[E]ry,
Oo, that...[A] sweet little m[F#m11]ystery that's [D]in your he[E]art,
It's just that..[A]. sweet little m[F#m11]ystery makes me t[E]ry!
[A] The time is flying fast,
And[F#m11] I don't care..[D]. to spend another night..[E]. alone,
[A] I want to see you, but I [F#m11]don't know where,
[D] Till then I'm walking on-[E]-- my own!
[Bm9] It's not the letters that you just don't write,
[F#m11] It's not the arms of some new friend,
[Bm9] It's not the crying in the depth of the night,
That [F#m11]keeps me hanging on, just wai[E]ting for the end!
It's that..[A]. sweet little m[F#m11]ystery that's [D]in your he[E]art,
It's just that..[A]. sweet little m[F#m11]ystery makes me c[E]ry,
Oh, that...[A] sweet little m[F#m11]ystery that's [D]in your he[E]art,
It's just that..[A]. sweet little m[F#m11]ystery makes me..[E]. try!
That..[A]. sweet little m[F#m11]ystery that's [D]in your he[E]art,
It's just that..[A]. sweet little m[F#m11]ystery makes me.[E].. cry,
Oo, that...[A] sweet little m[F#m11]ystery that's [D]in your he[E]art,
It's just that.[A].. sweet little [F#m11]mystery makes me.[E].. try!
||: Bm9
Sweet mystery, sweet---mystery,
[F#m11] Sweet mystery, sweet mystery, sweet mystery! :||(Repeat)
[F#m11] Sweet... my ---stery!
