Capo III
[Intro]
C(6 bars)
[Verse 1]
CWe were born before the wind
CAlso younger than the sun
G'Ere the bonny boat was won
As we sailed into the Cmystic
[Verse 2]
CHark, now, hear the sailor's cry
CSmell the sea and feel the sky
GLet your soul and spirit fly
Into the Cmystic
[Bridge]
EmWhen that foghorn bFlows,
I will bCe comin' home, mmm hmm hm
EmWhen the foghorn Fblows,
I wanna Ghear it, I don't have to fear it
[Chorus]
And CI wanna rock your gypsy soul
CJust like way back in the days of old
GAnd magnificently we will float
Into the Cmystic
[Sax Solo]
