Van Morrison : Moondance

G

D

C

G

Half a mile from the county fair, and the rain came pouring down

G

D

C

G

Me and Billy standing there, with a silver half a crown

G

D

C

G

Hands full of fishing gear, and the tackle on our backs

G

D

C

G

We just stood there getting wet, with our backs against the fence

Am

D

Am

D

Oh, the water, oh, the water

Am

D

Em

D

Oh, the water, let it run all over me

G

C

G

And it stoned me to my soul

G

D

Em

G

Stoned me just like Jelly Roll, and it stoned me

G

C

G

And it stoned me to my soul

G

D

Em

G

Stoned me just like Jelly Roll, and it stoned me

G

D

C

G

And the rain let up and the sun came out, we were getting dry

G

D

C

G

Almost glad a pick-up truck, nearly passed us by

G

D

C

G

So we jumped right in, and the driver grinned and he dropped us up the road

G

D

C

G

We looked at the swim and we jumped right in, not to mention fishing poles

Am

D

Am

D

Oh, the water, oh, the water

Am

D

Em

D

Oh, the water, let it run all over me

G

C

G

And it stoned me to my soul

G

D

Em

G

Stoned me just like Jelly Roll, and it stoned me

G

C

G

And it stoned me to my soul

G

D

Em

G

Stoned me just like Jelly Roll, and it stoned me

G

D

C

G

On the way back home, we sang a song, but our throats were getting dry

G

D

C

G

Then we saw the man, from across the road, with the sunshine in his eyes

G

D

C

G

Well, he lived all alone in his own little home, with a great big gallon jar

G

D

C

G

There were bottles too, one for me and you and he said, "hey, there you are"

Am

D

Am

D

Oh, the water, oh, the water

Am

D

Em

D

Oh, the water, let it run all over me

G

C

G

And it stoned me to my soul

G

D

Em

G

Stoned me just like Jelly Roll, and it stoned me

G

C

G

And it stoned me to my soul

G

D

Em

G

Stoned me just like Jelly Roll, and it stoned me
