Em7 
So many things I think about 
G6 
When I look far away 
Em7 
Things I know, things I wonder 
G6 
Things I'd like to say 

Em7 Em7 G6 G6 

Em7 
The more we think we know about 
G6 
The greater the unknown 
Em7 
We suspend our disbelief 
G6 
And we are not alone 
       D 
Mystic rhythms 
                                Em 
Capture my thoughts, carry them away 

Mysteries of the night 
                    D 
Escape the light of day 
       C 
Mystic rhythms under northern lights 
               Em 
Or the African sun 
D 
Primitive things stir the hearts of everyone 

Em7 Em7 G6 G6 

Em7 
We sometimes catch a window 
G6 
A glimpse of what's beyond 
Em7 
Was it just imagination 
G6 
Stringing us along 
Em7 
More things that I dreamed about 
G6 
Unseen and unexplained 
Em7 
We suspend our disbelief 
G6 
And we are entertained 
       D 
Mystic rhythms 
                                Em 
Capture my thoughts, carry them away 

Nature seems to spin 
               D 
A supernatural way 
       C 
Mystic rhythms under city lights 
               Em 
Or a canopy of stars 
D 
We feel the powers and wonder what they are
