Sweet Thing
(Van Morrison)

Intro:(E F#m A B6)

E                     F#m
And I will stroll the merry way 
             A             B6   
And jump the hedges first
E                     F#m
And I will drink the clear
             A                    B6 
Clean water for to quench my thirst 
E                      F#m
And I shall watch the ferry-boats 
               A
And they'll get high 
                B6
On a bluer ocean 
E                   F#m
Against tomorrow's sky 
                      A             B6
And I will never grow so old again 
E                    F#m
And I will walk and talk
                 A               B6
In gardens all wet with rain 


E                A
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing 
E                A
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing 


And I shall drive my chariot 
Down your streets and cry 
'Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite 
And I don't know why' 
And you shall take me strongly 
In your arms again 
And I will not remember 
That I even felt the pain. 
We shall walk and talk 
In gardens all misty and wet with rain 
And I will never, never, never 
Grow so old again. 


Oh sweet thing, sweet thing 
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing 


And I will raise my hand up 
Into the night time sky 
And count the stars 
That's shining in your eye 
Just to dig it all an' not to wonder 
That's just fine 
And I'll be satisfied 
Not to read in between the lines 
And I will walk and talk 
In gardens all wet with rain 
And I will never, ever, ever, ever 
Grow so old again. 


Oh sweet thing, sweet thing 
Sugar-baby with your champagne eyes 
And your saint-like smile.... 



       E          F#m         A         B6
