Key: G
Introduction:
G Am
I can't believe it's true I finally got you here
G Am
I've been waiting for this moment for some years
Bm C
I've been torn down enough to know
Bm C
Everyone goes through this door
C7 A
Just before their lives explode
Am D
Come in here with a heavy load
G Am
Walking down the road watching the day begin
G Am
Radio song is playing off in a distant wind
Bm C
But you can feel it it's a gentle love
Bm C
Coming out soft from the windows above
C7 A
Just when you have had enough
Am D
Here comes the world you've been dreaming of
G Bm7 Em7 D
Oh my my the Mystic River
C G Am D
She takes your heart And you will forgive her and
G Bm7 Em7 D
Lay me down beside the water
C G Am D
I look across at the sons and daughters
G Am
Sun comes up each day to chase away the moon
G Am
Even the stars at night they fade away too soon
Bm C
You can't do much about the trouble life brings
Bm C
Cut all the lines so the phones don't ring
C7 A
But stay here once from spring to spring
Am D
Watching the ice melt the mornings sing
G Bm7 Em7 D
Oh my my the Mystic River
C G Am D
She takes your heart And you will forgive her and
G Bm7 Em7 D
Lay me down beside the water
C G Am D
I miss my sons, I miss my daughters
G Bm Em7 D C G Am D7
Now... Oooh now...
Instrumental Solo
C D Em A7 C F G
Ohh...
G Am
There's a tree that grows out in the burning sands
G Am
Never a drop of rain that nobody understands
Bm C
You can push me I don't mind
Bm C
Leave me out here and I'll be fine
C A7
Cause everyone's gonna have their time
Am D
Up or down honey you decide
G Bm Em7 D
Oh my my the Mystic River
C G A7 D
She takes your heart And you will forgive her and
G Bm Em7 D
Lay me down beside the water
C G Am D
I miss my sons, I miss my daughters
G Bm Em7 D C G Am D7
Now... Oooh now...
C D Em A7
Ohh...
