Lyrics
We were born be fore the wind,
al so young er than the sun,
ere the bon ny boat was won as we sailed in to the (F)mys tic.
Hark, now hear the sail or’s cry.
Smell the sea and feel the sky,
let your soul and spir it fly in to the (F)mys tic.
And when the fog horn (Bb7)blows,
I will be (F)com ing home.
And when that fog horn (Bb7)blows,
I wan na (C)hear it.
I don’t have to fear it, and I (F)wan na rock your
gyp sy soul,
just like way back in the days of old.
And mag ni fi cent ly we will flow
in to the (F)mys tic.
And when the fog horn (Bb7)blows,
I will be (F)com ing home.
And when that fog horn (Bb7)blows,
I wan na (C)hear it.
I don’t have to fear it, and I (F)wan na rock your
gyp sy soul,
just like way back in the days of old.
And to geth er we will flow will flow
in to the (F)mys tic.
Too late to stop now.

Questions about this song (12)
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Into The Mystic"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature F. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Into The Mystic" by Van Morrison played in?
- Into The Mystic is arranged in the key of F on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Into The Mystic"?
- The arrangement plays at 86 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Into The Mystic" easy to play on piano?
- Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
- Can I download sheet music for "Into The Mystic"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Into The Mystic"?
- "Into The Mystic" was originally performed by Van Morrison. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
- What other songs by Van Morrison can I play here?
- Try "SOMEONE LIKE YOU", "TUPELO HONEY", "INTO THE MYSTIC". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Into The Mystic" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature F, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 86 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
