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

F C Dm A# F C
Play the bridge and fade away.
