Intro:(Electric with reverb and one second delay pedal, so each strum sounds
like you're playing it twice):


A5                                         Dmsus7
Picture yourself, Set up for good in a whole other life
       A5
In the mystery zone
A5
Make us a house, Some far away town
       Dmsus7                                A5 
Where nobody will know us well, Where your dad's not around
A5                      
And all the trouble you look for all your life
            Dmsus7                 A5
You will find it for sure, In the mystery zone
A5            FmajC
Times that we met
         GmajD        A5
Before we met...hhmmm light on mister (?)
             FmajC  GmajD
Times that we met...hmmmm  
      A5
We'll go there

      ( F5   *bass* G5 ) A5 and Asus(pluck through whole chorus)
To the mystery zone
      ( F5   *bass* G5 ) A5 and A5
Ah the mystery zone

A5                                 
There goes the rider, At gates of dawn
            Dmsus7                     A5
He takes no prisoners at all, He'll be there on his own
A5             
What gets him going, Off down that road
             Dmsus7                      A5
Is something he don't understand, ooo the mystery zone
A5
Maybe all he wants, Maybe all he needs
          Dmsus7
Is to know that the sun don't set
         A5
On the mystery zone
A5           FmajC          GmajD       A5
How come it feels so familiar When you never been there?
A5           FmajC           GmajD         A5 
How come it seems so unreachable You never tried to find
A5                   ( F5   *bass* G5 ) A5 and A5    
Never tired to find the mystery zone
( F5   *bass* G5 ) A5 and A5
Mystery zone, oooh
