LYRICS
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
We were born before the wind,
Also younger than the sun,
There the bonnie boat was won, as we sailed into the mystic
 
Hark I hear the babies cry,
Smell the sea and feel the sky,
Let your soul and your spirit fly, as we sail into the mystic
 
 
[Chorus]
 
When that foghorn blows, I will be coming home
When that foghorn blows, I wanna hear it
I don't have to fear it
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
and I want to rock your gypsy soul
Straight down to the days of old
And magnificently we will fold into the mystic
 
 
[Chorus]
 
When that foghorn blows, I will be coming home
When that foghorn blows, I wanna hear it
I don't have to fear it
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
and I want to rock your gypsy soul
Straight down to the days of old
And magnificently we will fold into the mystic

Just want to say that enjoy this open D version...gives you a much-needed, fuller sound when you don't have a band behind you

The only thing that sounds goofy to me is the bridge here. In the song it doesn’t sound like 4 strings are being used it only sounds like 2?
