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