The Essential Van Morrison

Keep It Simple

George Ivan Morrison (generally known as Van Morrison) (b. 1945) is a Grammy Award-winning Northern-Irish singer, songwriter, author, poet, and multi-instrumentalist, who has been a professional musician since the late 1950s. He plays a variety of instruments, including the guitar, harmonica, keyboards, drums, and saxophone. Featuring his characteristic growl - a unique mix of folk, blues, Irish, scat, and Celtic influences - Morrison is widely considered one of the most unusual and influential vocalists in the history of rock and roll.

   Em                    G      D
In Banbridge Town in the County Down
    Em           D
One morning last July,
       Em                  G     D
From a boreen green came a sweet colleen
        Em            D            Em
And she smiled as she passed me by.
    G                        D
She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
       Em                     D
To the sheen of her nut brown hair.
       Em                  G        D
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook my self
       Em        D      Em
For to see I was really there.



CHORUS:
     G                D
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
     Em               D
From Galway to Dublin Town,
   Em                      G     D
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
       Em         D      Em
That I met in the County Down.

                     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

Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D       Em
Oh, the water
                        D (let ring)
Let it run all over me
G                C           
And it stoned me to my soul
G                   D
Stoned me just like jelly roll
       Em     G
And it stoned me
G                C          
And it stoned me to my soul
G              D
Stoned me just going home
       Em     G
And it stoned me


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

Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D       Em
Oh, the water

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"

Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D
Oh, the water
Am      D       Em
Oh, the water

And It Stoned Me

So hard to find my way
Now that Im all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My, how you have grown!
Cast my memory back there, lord,
Sometime Im overcome thinking about
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium
With you, my brown-eyed girl,
You, my brown-eyed girl.

Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Laying in the green grass
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la
Dee dah la dee dah la dee dah la

Dancing In The Moonlight Intro

An E - D - A chord progression throughout the entire song

Gloria

Intro: F Bb x6

Verse 1
      F                     Bb
They mocked me when I was singing the songs
          F                           Bb
Trying to get back to something more simple than we have
     Bb                C            F    Bb
They mocked me cos I told it like it was
F                 Bb
Wrote about disappointment and greed
       F                            Bb
Wrote about what we really didn't need in our lives
         C             F
Make us feel alive and whole


Chorus:
    Bb                 C                       F
    Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand
    Bb              C                F
    And straight reality is always cold
    A7                                      D
    Saying something hard edged is off the wall
    G                      C
    And it might seem too bold

Verse 2:

F                             Bb
Mocked me when it got out of hand
F                     Bb
Nobody tried to understand
               Bb         C               F
Now we got to keep it simple and that's that

Solo: F Bb F Bb Bb C F x2

CHORUS
Verse 3:
          F                 Bb
Well I'm down here on the running board
F                     Bb
Where I've been many times before
        Bb                    C         F
But we got to keep it simple to save ourselves
F                          Bb
Mocked me when I tried to get back
           F                           Bb
Said the train was completely off the track
       Bb                              C               F
And we got to get back to something simple to save ourselves


Bridge:

Dm             Bb                      C                  F
Whoa we got to get back to something simple just to save yourselves
Dm   Bb                              C                 F
Well got to get back to something simple just to save yourselves

And into this life we're born

Baby, sometimes, sometimes we don't know why
   F                           Fm
And time seems to go by so fast
D                      G      G7
In the twinkling of an eye


Let's enjoy it while we can
Help me share my load
From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road

*solo*

Chorus


Let's enjoy it while we can
And help me sing my song
Little darling come along
To the bright side of the road

From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road
Little darling come with me
To the bright side of the road

On the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road
We'll be lovers once again
On the bright side of the road

We'll be lovers once again
On the bright side of the road

Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro rosey,
Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro rosey.
You're the apple of my eye,
Ice cream in my cherry pie, pie.
She's just sixteen and she's not yet grown,
She never goes out on her own.
She lives way up on the Avenue of Trees,
Where I chanced to walk in the cool night breeze.
And I, I see her face, her smile, her hair,
I cry, "Oh, uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh."

Em                      G
Foghorns blowing in the night
Em                          G
Salt sea air in the morning breeze
Em                              G
Driving cars all along the coastline
C                           G
This must be what it's all about

So quiet in here, so peaceful in here

The warm look of radiance on your face
And your heart beating close to mine
And the evening fading in the candle glow
This must be what it's all about
Oh this must be what it's all about
This must be what paradise is like
So quiet in here. so peaceful in here
So quiet in here, yeah, so peaceful in here

All my struggling in the world
And so many dreams that don't come true
Step back, put it all away
It don't matter, it don't matter anymore
Oh this must be what paradise is like
This must be what paradise is like
It's so quiet in here, so peaceful in here
It's so quiet in here, so peaceful in here

Instrumental: (Verse chords)

A glass of wine with some friends
Talking into the wee hours of the dawn
Sit back and relax your mind
This must be, this must be, what it's all about
This must be what paradise is like
Oh this must be what paradise is like
So quiet in here, so peaceful in here
So quiet in here, so peaceful in here

Big ships out in the night
And we're floating across the waves
Sailing for some other shore
Where we can be what we wanna be
Oh this must be what paradise is like
This must be what paradise is like
Baby it's so quiet in here, so peaceful in here
G           C        G           C (repeat till end)
So quiet in here, so peaceful in here
So quiet in here, so peaceful in here
So quiet in here, you can hear, it's so quiet (finish on G)

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#

Go down to the bandstand on the pier

You can get a big house and a faster car

You can run away boy, but you won't go far

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
