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