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