         capo III
    
    
    [Verse 1]
    
         C
         We were born before the wind
         C
         Also younger than the sun
         G
         'Ere the bonny boat was won
         G                     C
         As we sailed into the mystic
    
    
    [Verse 2]
    
         C
         Hark, now, hear the sailor's cry
         C
         Smell the sea and feel the sky
         G
         Let your soul and spirit fly
         G          C
         Into the mystic.
    
    
    [Bridge]
    
         Em               F            
         When that foghorn blows,
                  C
         I will be comin' home, Mmm hmm hm
         Em               F                
         When that foghorn blows,
                G
         I wanna hear it, I don't have to fear it
    
    
    [Chorus]
    
             C
         And I  wanna rock you gypsy soul
         C
         Just like way back in the days of old
         G
         And magnificently we will float
         G          C
         Into the mystic
    
    
    [Sax solo]
    
    C ...  G ...  C
    
    
    [Bridge]
    
         Em       F               
         When that foghorn blows, 
         C
         you know I will be comin' home
         Em            F                     G       
         And when that foghorn whistle blows,
         G
         I've gotta hear it, I don't have to fear it
    
    
    [Ending chorus]
    
         C
         And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
         C
         Just like way back in the days of old
         G
         And together we will float
         G           C
         Into the mystic ............... Come on girl!
    
    
    [Sax solo]
    
    C ...  G ...  C
    
    
    [Ending]
                  C                         G            C
            ........ Too late to stop now-o-ow!......
