[Verse]
GHalf a mile from the Dcounty fair, and the Crain came pouring Gdown
GMe and Billy Dstanding there with a Csilver half a Gcrown
GHands are full of Dfishing rods, and the Ctackle on our Gbacks
GWe just stood there Dgetting wet, with our Cbacks against the Gfence
[Pre-Chorus]
AmOh, the wDater
AmOh, the Dwater
AmOh, the wDaterEm  
Hope it don't rain all dayD  
[Chorus]
And it Gstoned me Cto my soulG  
GStoned me just like D7Jelly Roll
And it Emstoned Gme
And it Gstoned me Cto my soulG  
GStoned me just like D7going home
And it Emstoned Gme
[Verse]
And the Grain let up, and the Dsun came up, and Cwe were getting dGry
GAlmost let a Dpickup truck Cnearly pass us bGy
So we Gjumped right in and the Ddriver grinned
And he Cdropped us up the Groad
And we Glooked at the swim, and we Djumped right in
Not to Cmention fishing Gpoles
[Pre-Chorus]
AmOh, the Dwater
AmOh, the wDater
AmOh, the DwaterEm  
Let it run all over meD  
[Chorus]
And it Gstoned me Cto my soulG  
GStoned me just like D7Jelly Roll
And it Emstoned Gme
And it Gstoned me Cto my soulG  
GStoned me just like D7going home
And it Emstoned Gme
[Instrumental Verse]
G   D   C   Gx4

[Verse]
On the Gway back home we Dsang a song, but our Cthroats were getting Gdry
Then we Gsaw the man from aDcross the road with the Csunshine in his Geyes
Well he Glived all alone in his Down little home with a Cgreat big gallon Gjar
There were Gbottles too, one for Dme and you, and he Csaid "hey, there you Gare"
[Pre-Chorus]
AmOh, the wDater
AmOh, the Dwater
AmOh, the wDaterEm  
Get it myself from the mountain sDtream
[Chorus]
And it Gstoned me Cto my soulG  
GStoned me just like D7Jelly Roll
And it Emstoned Gme
And it Gstoned me Cto my soulG  
GStoned me just like D7going home
And it Emstoned Gme
And it Gstoned me Cto my soulG  
GStoned me just like D7Jelly Roll
And it Emstoned Gme
And it Gstoned Cme to my soulG  
GStoned me just like going D7home
And it Emstoned Gme

The story behind the song

This song, recorded in the summer of 1969 at Warner Publishing Studio in New York City, is the opening track on Van Morrison's 1970 solo album, Moondance. It recalls a quasi-mystical experience the artist had as a child, where "everything seemed to stop" and "time stood still" for a few minutes. A biographer described the song as remembering "how it was when you were a kid and just got stoned from nature and you didn't need anything else."
