Beside You Chords by Van Morrison

[G] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [B] _ [E] _
[Em] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ little gentleman's [F#m] gone.
_ [B] _ [E] Way out on the back street,
[C] out of the window,
_ [Em] into the falling rain.
_ [Am] _ _ And it's right [D] on time.
_ It's right on time.
[G] _ _ _
_ That's why I [F#m] broke an arrow,
[B] _ _ [E] _
waved it's finger [C] down the road,
dark and narrow,
in the [Em]
evening,
_ _ [Am] just before the Sunday 6th [D] bell chimed.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
And way out [F#m] _ _ [Bm] there,
[E] _
[Em] out the dark [C] and way down below,
[Em]
and you wonder,
_ [Am] away from your hillside,
[D] a retreat in view.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
With two arms and [Bm] a north bridge
way out on the railroad,
_ [E] _
_ together all the [C] jumping trucks will unload,
[Em] arms grab books,
_ [A] they're [Am] together,
_ [D] you're stuck with glue,
_ yet I'll stand _ [G] _
beside you,
[F#m] _ _ [B] _ _ [E]
beside _ _ [C] _ you.
_ [E] _
[Em] Oh child,
_ [Am] you never, never, never [D] wonder why.
_ _ _ _ _ You [G]
never, never, never,
never wonder why at [C] all.
_ _ [G]
You never, never, never,
never wonder [C] why at all.
It's [G] gotta [D] be,
it had to be,
_ _ _ _ [G] _
across the crystal pavements,
way [F#m] out in the country
where you'll find the [Bm] hillside mountain slide.
[E]
The dynamo of your smile
could wreck [C] the broken birds
and child will wonder
by your window in the [E] nighttime,
[Em] across the fog,
_ [Am] _ glide,
as ecstasy [D] surrounds you.
_ Through the night air
you'll pass the time,
as hopeless,
oh [G] well,
against the pointed idle breeze,
across the [F#m] bootlids
of the brazen silent [Bm] season.
_ [E]
And the night you cry,
the spirits that hear you
[C] and they tell you everything's all right,
go ahead,
do it [Em] one more time, baby.
Yeah, [Am] you're satisfied at this.
_ [D] And way up in the sky
comes down the light of school,
the [G] whole is open and you kiss
the whole of [F#m] London
and you [Bm] don't wait
_ [E] for the freedom of it
and you're mad,
the night air [C] comes into your nostrils
and you breathe in, [Em] out, in, out,
and you breathe [Am] just like that,
just like [D] that.
You say hi,
does it get you when it gets you,
does it get you,
it gets you,
you may not know it,
but it's got you,
so you turn [G] around
and I point a finger at you,
_ [F#m] point [B] a finger at [E] you
and [Em] say which way,
[C] which way,
which way,
which way,
[Em] _
_ that's [Am] all right,
_ _ [D] if I'm hip to it,
gonna do it right now,
_ behind you,
[G] _
_ beside [F#m] _ _ [E] you,
beside _ _ [C] you,
_ _ [Em] oh child,
_ _ [Am] never, never, never, never,
never wonder [D] why at _ all,
no,
_ _ _ [G]
never, never, never [C] wonder why at all,
_ [G] _
never, never, never wonder [C] why at all,
it's [D] gotta be,
_ it has to be.
