CHORUS:
G Em7 C D
Just the sweet little myst'ry, That's in your heart,

G Em7 C D
And the sweet little myst'ry, That's in your heart,
G Em7 D Dsus4 D
it's that sweet little myst'ry, Makes me cry.
VERSE 1:
G Em7
Friends will tell me that I look so sad,
C D
They don't need to ask me why,
G Em7
They know the reason that I feel so bad,
C D
Since the night you said 'Goodbye'.
MIDDLE 8:
Am7
It's not the letters, that you just don't write,
Em7-9
It's not the arms of some new friend,
Am7
It's not the crying, in the dead of night,
Em7-9 D
That keeps me hanging on, just waiting for the end.
CHORUS
VERSE 2:
I watch the street, I watch the radio,
I don't need to turn it on,
Another friends comes by to say 'Hello',
Another weekend's almost gone.
MIDDLE 8
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
Time is flying fast, and I don't care,
To spend another night alone,
I want to see you, but I don't know where,
'Til then I'm walking on my own.
MIDDLE 8
CHORUS
CODA:

Sweet mystery, sweet sweet mystery,

It's your sweet little mystery...

version 3
This version is another choice for a simple version for acoustic
guitar, which you can play in standard tuning but in the key of A,
or if you want to play along with the original album track,
(which was in Ab) then tune all your strings down a half step.
Using a chromatic tuner can be useful for an accurate pitch.

Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb (Chords will then sound in the key of Ab)
A = 577655 or x02220 D = xx0232 Bm9 = x20222
