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

Play the bridge and fade away.
