A#
Johnny take a walk
           D#
With your sister the moon
         A#
Let her pale light in
    F
To fill up your room
            A#
You´ve been living underground
D#
Eating from a can
            A#
You´ve been running away
               F           A#
From what you don´t understand, Ooh

A#          D#
She´s slippy  you´re sliding down
A#                     D#
She´ll be there when you hit the ground, ah

Chorus:
A#                    D#
It´s alright, it´s alright, it´s alright
C#               G#
She moves in mysterious ways
A#                    D#
It´s alright, it´s alright, it´s alright
C#               G#
She moves in mysterious ways

A#
Johnny take a dive
           D#
With your sister in the rain
         A#
Let her talk about the things
     F
You can´t explain
    A#
To touch is to heal
    D#
To hurt is to steal
        A#
If you want to kiss the sky
        F             A#
Better learn how to kneel, (on your knees boy!)

She´s the wave she turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child!

Chorus

It´s alright, it´s alright, alright
Lift my days, Light up my nights, oh

A#m             D#
One day you´ll look back
            C#                 G#
And you´ll see where you were held how
         A#m                   D#
By this love while you could stand there
           C#
You could move on this moment
G#
Follow this feeling

Chorus

It´s alright, it´s alright, alright
We move through miracle days

It´s alright, it´s alright, alright
Spirit moves in mysterious ways

It´s alright, it´s alright, alright
Lift my days, Light up my nights, oh
