VERSE

E

We were born before the wind

Also younger than the sun

B (bar the 7th fret)                              E  (open)

Eyre the bonnie boat was won, as we sailed into the mystic



E

Hark now hear the sailor's cry

Smell the sea and feel the sky

B                                   E

Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
