The guitar becomes softer here, as the harmonica takes over.

Play these softly behind the harmonica.

G D Em C G D

[Verse]

G D Em Em

The River of Doubt gave birth to a, beautiful stone

G D Em

And in my hand I held it, and I knew I was on my own,

So I picked it up,

G D Em

And held it to the sky...

G D Em

And in my reflection, I knew I was all alone,

Em G D

Yeah, Yeah...then I saw this girl with the most

beautiful hair, she had it

G D Em

Wrapped around her, for clothes she did not wear.

G D Em

I asked her for a lock, and she complied, after leaving

G D Em

Gorgeous footsteps in the sand, as if she didn't care.

[Chorus]

G D

Well... She was the prettiest girl I ever saw and

Em C

stone lay still without a flaw, and the feelings I

G D

had to fight the law as I came to, and I went to

G D

And I took a look, a look down the road, to see a

Em C

badger, and a one eyed toad. They didn't say a word,

G D

They just looked at me with that,

G D Em C G D D

Wise old look of the old... Yeah... Wise old look of the

G D Em C G D

old... Yeah...

[Verse]

G D Em

And then I went down to town

G D Em

To my favorite, merry-go-Round, to the place

G D Em

where magic horses fly

G D Em

And you seldom see a frown

[Bridge]

G D

But then I stole the ring, from the flying horses,

and I can't begin to explain how. (Move quickly into the next line)

G D

I stole the ring from the flying horses,

Em C C C

And its all rusty now,

G D

I stole the ring from the flying horses,

And I can't begin to explain now

G D

I stole the ring from the flying horses,

Em C C C

And its all rusty now,

It's all rusty...

[Verse]

G D Em

Ya see, cause that stone fell right through my pocket

G D Em

And that locK of hair blew away with the wind

G D Em

If you chance to see upon either, Well...

G D Em

You know where they've been.

[Chorus]

G D Em

But don't pick them up or try to find me

We're much happier to be on our own

G D Em

Beauty like that knows, no

G D

And if you take a look, a look down the road

You'll see a badger and a one eyed toad

C G D

They won't say a word they'll just look at you with that, wise old look of

G D Em C G D

the old... Yeah…

G D Em C G D

Wise old look of the old... Yeah....

G D Em C G D

Play the bridge and fade away.
