And it Stoned Me

Van Morrison

 

G                             D Half a mile from the county fair              C                              G And the rain keep pourin' down G                   D Me and Billy standin' there             C                G With a silver half a crown G                           D Hands are full of a fishin' rod              C                        G And the tackle on our backs

1-Measure Strum:   B   B   D   D U 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +   2-Measure Strum:   B   B   D   D U 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +     U B   D   D U 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

G                             D
We just stood there gettin' wet

               C                              G
With our backs against the fence

Am         D Oh, the water Am         D Oh, the water Am         D      Oh, the water Em (2)                              D (2)    Hope it don't rain all day

 

Em      G And it stoned me

D   D U X   D       B   D   D U 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + Em          G

Em      G And it stoned me

D   D U X   D       B   D   D U 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + Em          G

 

               G                         D

Then the rain let up and the sun came up

        C                        G
And we were gettin' dry

G                 D             
Almost let a pick-up truck

 C                      G

nearly pass us by

           G                                  D
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned

              C                             G
And he dropped us up the road

       G                                    D
We looked at the swim and we jumped right in

            C                           G
Not to mention fishing poles

 

Am         D

Oh, the water

Am         D
Oh, the water

Am         D      Em (2)
Oh, the water

                              D (2)
Let it run all over me

 

Chorus

 

             G                          D

On the way back home we sang a song

                C                            G
But our throats were getting dry

              G                           D
Then we saw the man from across the road

               C                        G
With the sunshine in his eyes

            G                           D
Well he lived all alone in his own little home

              C                     G
With a great big gallon jar

          G                                  D
There were bottles too, one for me and you

                   C                        G
And he said Hey! There you are

 

Am         D

Oh, the water

Am         D
Oh, the water

Am         D      Em (2)
Oh, the water

                                                           D (2)
Get it myself from the mountain stream

 

Chorus

 

End on G
