     Eb

     Eb
 	 We were born before the wind
     Eb
 	 Also younger than the sun
     Bb
 	 'Ere the bonny boat was won
     Bb                     Eb
 	 As we sailed into the mystic


     Eb
 	 Hark, now, hear the sailor's cry
     Eb
 	 Smell the sea and feel the sky
     Bb
 	 Let your soul and spirit fly
     Bb          Eb
 	 Into the mystic.


Gm 	  	  	        Ab 	     Eb
 	 When that foghorn blows,  I will be comin' home, Mmm hmm hm
Gm 	  	  	     Ab 	  	   Bb
 	 When that foghorn blows, I wanna hear it, I don't have to fear it
     Bb     Eb
 	 And I  wanna rock you gypsy soul
     Eb
 	 Just like way back in the days of old
     Bb
 	 And magnificently we will float
     Bb          Eb
 	 Into the mystic


(TWO-SAX SOLO)   Eb ...  Bb ...  Eb

Gm 	  	  	     Am  Eb
 	 When that foghorn blows,  you know I will be comin' home
Gm    Ab 	  	  	  	     Bb
 	 And when that foghorn whistle blows,   I've gotta hear it, I don't have
 	  	  	  	  	  	  	  	      to fear it
Eb
 	 And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Eb
 	 Just like way back in the days of old
Bb
 	 And together we will float
Bb 	  	  Eb
 	 Into the mystic ............... Come on girl!


(TWO-SAX SOLO)   Eb ...  Bb ...  Eb

 	       Eb 	  	  	 Bb     Eb
 	 ........ Too late to stop now-o-ow!...... (THE END)
