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

Play the bridge and fade away.
