AND IT STONED ME  (Van Morrison)
 
 G                    D                    C                 G
Half a mile from the county fair, and the rain came pouring down
G             D                     C             G
Me and Billy standing there with a silver half a crown  
 G             D                     C             G
Hands full of fishing gear, and the tackle on our backs
G                    D                     C                 G
We just stood there getting wet, with our backs against the fence
 

Am      D      Am       D      Am      D     Em
Oh, the water  Oh, the water   Oh, the water
                            D (arpeggio)
Hope it don't rain all day
        G         C         C G  G                   D
And it stoned me to my soul     Stoned me just like jelly roll
       Em/B   G
And it stoned me
        G        C          C G  G                   D
And it stoned me to my soul     Stoned me just like going home
       Em/B   G
And it stoned me
 
 
         G                    D                C            G
And the rain let up, and the sun came out, we were getting dry
G              D             C              G
Almost glad a pickup truck nearly passed 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
We looked at the swim, and we jumped right in not to mention fishing poles
 

Am      D      Am       D      Am      D     Em
Oh, the water  Oh, the water   Oh, the water
                        D (arpeggio)
Let it run all over me
        G         C         C G  G                   D
And it stoned me to my soul     Stoned me just like jelly roll
       Em/B   G
And it stoned me
        G        C          C G  G                   D
And it stoned me to my soul     Stoned me just like going home
       Em/B   G
And it stoned me


G        D           C               G
G        D           C               G
G        D           C               G
G        D           C               G
Am      D      Am       D      Am      D     Em      D (arpeggio)


        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"
 

Am      D      Am       D      Am      D     Em
Oh, the water  Oh, the water   Oh, the water
                                       D (arpeggio)
Get it myself from the mountain stream
        G         C         C G  G                   D
And it stoned me to my soul     Stoned me just like jelly roll
       Em/B   G
And it stoned me
        G        C          C G  G                   D
And it stoned me to my soul     Stoned me just like going home
       Em/B   G
And it stoned me
