G# D# Fm Fm
The River of Doubt gave birth to a, beautiful stone
G# D# Fm
And in my hand I held it, and I knew I was on my own,
Fm
So I picked it up,
G# D# Fm
And held it to the sky...
G# D# Fm
And in my reflection, I knew I was all alone,
Fm G# D#
Yeah, Yeah...then I saw this girl with the most
Fm
beautiful hair, she had it
G# D# Fm
Wrapped around her, for clothes she did not wear.
G# D# Fm
I asked her for a lock, and she complied, after leaving
G# D# Fm
Gorgeous footsteps in the sand, as if she didn't care.
[Chorus]
G# D#
Well... She was the prettiest girl I ever saw and
Fm 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
Fm C#
badger, and a one eyed toad. They didn't say a word,
G# D#
They just looked at me with that,
G# D# Fm C# G# D# D#
Wise old look of the old... Yeah... Wise old look of the
G# D# Fm C# G# D#
old... Yeah...
[Verse]
G# D# Fm
And then I went down to town
G# D# Fm
To my favorite, merry-go-Round, to the place
G# D# Fm
where magic horses fly
G# D# Fm
And you seldom see a frown
[Bridge]
G# D#
But then I stole the ring, from the flying horses,
Fm
and I can't begin to explain how. (Move quickly into the next line)
G# D#
I stole the ring from the flying horses,
Fm C# C# C#
And its all rusty now,
G# D#
I stole the ring from the flying horses,
Fm
And I can't begin to explain now
G# D#
I stole the ring from the flying horses,
Fm C# C# C#
And its all rusty now,
D#
It's all rusty...
[Verse]
G# D# Fm
Ya see, cause that stone fell right through my pocket
G# D# Fm
And that locK of hair blew away with the wind
G# D# Fm
If you chance to see upon either, Well...
G# D# Fm
You know where they've been.
[Chorus]
G# D# Fm
But don't pick them up or try to find me
Fm
We're much happier to be on our own
G# D# Fm
Beauty like that knows, no
G# D#
And if you take a look, a look down the road
Fm
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# Fm C# G# D#
the old... Yeah…
G# D# Fm C# G# D#
Wise old look of the old... Yeah....

Play the bridge and fade away.
