AND IT STONED ME - VAN MORRISON
[Verse]
G D C G
Half a mile from the county fair, and the rain came pouring down
G D C G
Me and Billy standin' there with a silver half a crown
G D C G
Hands are full of a fishin' rod, and the tackle on our backs
G D C G
We just stood there gettin' wet, with our backs against the fence
[Pre Chorus]
Am D Am D
Oh, the water Oh, the water
Am D Em D
Oh, the water, Hope it don't rain all day
[Chorus]
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 C G
Stoned me just going home, and it stoned me
[Verse]
G D C G
And then the rain let up and the sun came up, and we were gettin' dry
G D C G
Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass 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
Yeah, we looked at the swim and we jumped right in, not to mention fishing poles
[Pre Chorus]
Am D Am D
Oh, the water Oh, the water
Am D Em D
Oh, the water, Let it run all over me
[Chorus]
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 C G
Stoned me just going home, and it stoned me
[Solo]
G D C G
G D C G
G D C G
G D C G
Am D Am D
Am D Em D
[Verse]
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
[Pre Chorus]
Am D Am D
Oh, the water Oh, the water
Am D Em D
Oh, the water, Get it myself from the mountain stream
[Chorus]
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 C G
Stoned me just going home, 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 C G
And it stoned me to my soul
G D Em C G
Stoned me just going home, and it stoned me
