[Intro Part 2]
The guitar becomes softer here, as the harmonica takes over.
Play these softly behind the harmonica.

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