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

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

CHORUS REPEAT


      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


CHORUS REPEAT/COLD END
