[Verse 1]
 
C
  We were born before the wind
C
  Also younger than the sun
G
  'Ere the bonny boat was won
                      C
As we sailed into the mystic
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C
  Hark, now, hear the sailor's cry
C
  Smell the sea and feel the sky
G
  Let your soul and spirit fly
         C
Into the mystic
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Em                    F
   When that foghorn blows,
        C
I will be comin' home, mmm hmm hm
Em                  F
   When the foghorn blows,
        G
I wanna hear it, I don't have to fear it
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    C
And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
C
  Just like way back in the days of old
G
  And magnificently we will float
         C
Into the mystic

G
  I gotta hear it, I don't have to fear it
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    C
And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
C
  Just like way back in the days of old

Into the mystic ... Come on girl

Hey ! Thats decent! Van Morrison is tough to play usually. For added realism, drop/hammer on/off your little finger down on the D note of the second string 3rd fret during the C chord for that da da dada da da secondary instrument sound. Experiment it's cool!

OK I'm quite new to this, but I've found that using a capo on the first fret & playing 'D' instead of 'C' and 'A' instead of 'G' works very well, and you can hammer on/off on the 1st string 3rd fret with both chords and it sounds nice. (I'd have to look up what those chords in fact are...) That said, I can't transpose well, so I've not figured out the bridge chord yet... any clues?

Good Job, Thanks for the chords.....
