Song: And It Stoned Me
By:   Van Morrison

[verse:1]
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 {let ring}
Oh, the water
                                        D { 2 x arpeggio}
1. Hope it don't rain all day
2. Let it run all over me
3. Get it myself from a mountain stream
G                       C       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           C G
And it stoned me to my soul
G               D
Stoned me just going home
        Em    G
And it stoned me

[verse:2]
          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 and sing line 2. }

{solo: guitar} {over verse chords and part of the chorus chords}
               4 x [  G   D   C   G  ]
               Am  D  Am D  Am D   Em {let ring}    D ( 2 x arpeggio)
[verse:3]
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 and sing line 3. }
[coda:]
G                        C        C  G
Well it stoned me to my soul
G                    D
Stoned me just like jelly roll
       Em     G
And it stoned me
G                C           C G
And it stoned me to my soul
G               D
Stoned me just going home
        Em    G
And it stoned me
