INTO THE MYSTIC

     Eb
        We were born before the wind
     Eb
        Also younger than the sun
     Bb
        'Ere the bonny boat was won
     Bb                     Eb
        As we sailed into the mystic

        Hark, now, hear the sailor's cry
        Smell the sea and feel the sky
        Let your soul and spirit fly
        Into the mystic.


Gm                             Ab           Eb
        When that foghorn blows,  I will be comin' home, Mmm hmm hm
Gm                          Ab            Bb
        When that foghorn blows, I wanna hear it, I don't have to fear it
     Bb     Eb
        And I  wanna rock you gypsy soul
     Eb
        Just like way back in the days of old
     Bb
        And magnificently we will float
     Bb          Eb
        Into the mystic

Gm                          Am  Eb

Gm    Ab                                    Bb
        And when that foghorn whistle blows,   I've gotta hear it, I don't have
                                                                     to fear it
        And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
        Just like way back in the days of old
        And together we will float
        Into the mystic ............... Come on girl!
