Into The Mystic by Van Morrison
Tabbed by R. Allen Canterbury.
The bassist for Morrison changes the main line around a bit. I have tabbed
out the entire thing, including the little changes, but it's a long
transcription. You can use this to figure out the basic line, and change it
around as you wish.

| i love van, and this song so much. im doing my artistic solo for skating to this. i dont think van had much stage pressance, though. when i watch him on the last waltz he just kind of gets up and sings. | |

| I think theres a very whimsical meaning to this song. I don't think that he's being literal by any means. 'Into the mystic' I think is another way to phrase 'falling into love'. I associate his use of 'Mystic' as the unknown. I love this song too. I want it to be my first dance when I get married next year. | |

| first off, word to songmeanings being back van said that he wasn't even sure of the lyrics to this song. it could be "misty" instead of "mystic" at one point of the song. Also "younger than the sun" could be "...son", "born" in the first line could be "borne", and "Ere the bonny boat was won" could be "...one". At this point Van was writing lyrics placing the sound above content. This song was meant to be interpreted as the listener chooses to. | |

| for Kant, 'transcendental' is contrasted with 'transcendent'. Something transcendent goes beyond the limits of experience, while something transcendental relates to the conditions of the possibility of experience. So I go with 'transcendent'. Poetry, sound (check out the horns), singing, philosophy - into the mystic indeed - Ere the bonnie boat was won!! | |

| This song is awe-inspiring. If I am ever having a bad day, I just put this song on and turn it up! It instantly makes me feel so much better just to sing at the top of my lungs. It just makes everything seem like it's going to be ok. My dad used to play this for me when I was little. I think it was the first Van Morrison song I ever heard. What a way to start! Now, years later I am hooked to Van! | |
