[Verse]
G D Em Em
The River of Doubt gave birth to a, beautiful stone
G D Em
And in my hand I held it, and I knew I was on my own,
Em
So I picked it up,
G D Em
And held it to the sky...
G D Em
And in my reflection, I knew I was all alone,
Em G D
Yeah, Yeah...then I saw this girl with the most
Em
beautiful hair, she had it
G D Em
Wrapped around her, for clothes she did not wear.
G D Em
I asked her for a lock, and she complied, after leaving
G D Em
Gorgeous footsteps in the sand, as if she didn't care.
[Chorus]
G D
Well... She was the prettiest girl I ever saw and
Em C
stone lay still without a flaw, and the feelings I
G D
had to fight the law as I came to, and I went to
G D
And I took a look, a look down the road, to see a
Em C
badger, and a one eyed toad. They didn't say a word,
G D
They just looked at me with that,
G D Em C G D D
Wise old look of the old... Yeah... Wise old look of the
G D Em C G D
old... Yeah...
[Verse]
G D Em
And then I went down to town
G D Em
To my favorite, merry-go-Round, to the place
G D Em
where magic horses fly
G D Em
And you seldom see a frown
[Bridge]
G D
But then I stole the ring, from the flying horses,
Em
and I can't begin to explain how. (Move quickly into the next line)
G D
I stole the ring from the flying horses,
Em C C C
And its all rusty now,
G D
I stole the ring from the flying horses,
Em
And I can't begin to explain now
G D
I stole the ring from the flying horses,
Em C C C
And its all rusty now,
D
It's all rusty...
[Verse]
G D Em
Ya see, cause that stone fell right through my pocket
G D Em
And that locK of hair blew away with the wind
G D Em
If you chance to see upon either, Well...
G D Em
You know where they've been.
[Chorus]
G D Em
But don't pick them up or try to find me
Em
We're much happier to be on our own
G D Em
Beauty like that knows, no
G D
And if you take a look, a look down the road
Em
You'll see a badger and a one eyed toad
C G D
They won't say a word they'll just look at you with that, wise old look of
G D Em C G D
the old... Yeah…
G D Em C G D
Wise old look of the old... Yeah....

Play the bridge and fade away.
