Verse 1:
G                           Am
I can't believe it's true I finally got you here 
G                       Am
I been waiting for this moment for some years 
          Bm         C
I’ve been torn down enough to know 
Bm            C
Everyone goes through this door 
C7                A
Just before their lives explode 
Am                  D
Come in here with a heavy load

Verse 2:
G                     Am
Walking down the road watching the day begin 
G                     Am
Radio song is playing off in a distant wind 
            Bm            C
But you can feel it its a gentle love 
Bm                       C
Coming out soft from the windows above 
C7                 A
Just when you have had enough 
Am                               D
Here comes the world you’ve been dreaming of 

Chorus 1:
G     D/F#   Em     D
Oh my my the Mystic River 
    C          G/B
She takes your heart 
        Am      D
And you will forgive her 
G      D/F#   Em       D
Lay me down beside the water 
  C     G/B          Am       D
I look across at the sons and daughters 

Verse 3:
G                        Am
Sun comes up each day to chase away the moon 
G                            Am
Even the stars at night they fade away too soon 
          Bm                C
You can’t do much about the trouble life brings 
Bm                       C
Cut all the lines so the phones don’t ring 
    C7                  A
But stay here once from spring to spring 
Am                        D
Watching the ice melt the mornings sing 

Chorus 2:
G     D/F#   Em     D
Oh my my the Mystic River 
    C          G/B
She takes your heart 
        Am      D
And you will forgive her 
G      D/F#   Em       D
Lay me down beside the water 
  C       G/B    Am      D
I miss my sons I miss my daughter now

Verse 4:
G                         Am
There’s a tree that grows out in the burning sands 
G                         Am
Never a drop of rain that nobody understands 
        Bm      C
You can push me I don’t mind 
Bm                    C
Leave me out here and I’ll be fine 
      C7               A
Cause everyone’s gonna have their time 
Am               D
Up or down honey you decide 

Chorus 3:
G     D/F#   Em     D
Oh my my the Mystic River 
    C          G/B
She takes your heart 
    Am          D
And you will forgive her 
G      D/F#   Em       D
Lay me down beside the water 
  C       G/B    Am      D
I miss my sons I miss my daughter now
