  			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....
