And It Stoned Me

Van Morrison
Moondance
1971

I sat down with this CD today to check out possible
additions to my page and was greeted by this opening
track.  It's a neat song, and if you can grab some
horns for backup you're set!  Enjoy it.

G                       D                   C                   G
   Half a mile from the county fair and the rain came pourin' down
             D                     C                G
Me and Billy standin' there with a silver half a crown
                    D                   C               G
Hands are full of a fishin' rod and the tackle on our backs
                     D                   C                   G
We just stood there gettin' wet with our backs against the fence

PRE-CHORUS
Am        D
   Oh the water
Am     D
Oh the water
Am        D
   Oh the water
Em
   Hope it don't rain all day

G

CHORUS
       G         C               G
And it stoned me to my soul
                    D
Stoned me just like jelly roll
       Em     G
And it stoned me
                 C               G
And it stoned me to my soul
                    D
Stoned me just like goin' home
       Em     G
And it stoned me


And the rain let up and the sun came up and we were gettin' dry
Almost let a pickup truck nearly pass us by
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned and he dropped us up the road
We looked at the swim and we jumped right in not to mention the fishing poles

PRE-CHORUS
Oh the water
Oh the water
Oh the water
Let it run all over me


CHORUS

On the way back home we sang a song but our throats were getting dry
Then we saw the man from across the road with the sunshine in his eyes
Well he lived all alone in his own little home with a great big gallon jar
There were bottles too one for me and you and he said hey there you are

PRE-CHORUS
Oh the water
Oh the water
Oh the water
Get it myself from the mountain stream


CHORUS 3x

end on G
