************************************************************************* "Mysterious Ways" --------------- (Heavy distortion recommended) This song can be played with a capo on the 8th fret, if you can do that. Then it becomes fairly simple just playing D instead of A, etc. (see the chord formations). Or you can play it with a capo on 1st fret, which is how I've finally put the chords. [Editor's Comment] Intro/transitions: (Repeated about 9 times) E-------------------------------------- B------10-10--------------------------- G-------9--9--------------------------- D----7--7--7--------------------------- A-10----------------------------------- E-------------------------------------- (Note: the above is basically the A chord played on a few strings) (Note: chords given below generally are played by an organ in background)

Johnny take a dive with your sister in the rain Let her talk about the things you can't explain To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal If you want to kiss the sky Better learn how to kneel (...on your knees boy!)
