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

Play the bridge and fade away.
