Rocking Horse Road

Intro: G C D C (same pattern through
 the first part of the verses)

     G              C              
The chains from the bridle and the 
D          C             G C D C
reins fell from my hands
     G           C            D  
The engines are idle and the ship
       C           G C D C
 sails on dry land
Em             Bm          Am   
I stood there stupefied, I 
           Bm       C
thought I recog-nized
C                          D
Walking down Rocking Horse Road, 
getting lost

G C D C

G             C           D     
Shot through Vaseline, he picks 
       C                    G C D C
up the paper from the lawn
    G            C         D   C
And tucks the Suburban Assassin 
                   G C D C
underneath his arm
Em                    Bm          
He smiles weakly and turns away. I
 Am              Bm      C
 know I'll never come to harm

C                          D(? I 
don’t think this is right, but the 
bass makes it hard to figure)
Walking down Rocking Horse Road, 
it's so peaceful

F#m           Bm
It's like a photograph
F#m                        Bm
From the other side of the world
Am Bm                C
 I said "I want you only"
Am  Bm      C
And then I left you alone
Am        Bm            C        D 
(tacit)
Crying on Rocking Horse Road, or 
somewhere quite like it

[Louder] G C D C
G C D D

[Back to standard verse level] G C D
 C (x2)

    G        C                
The cemetery gardens, there are 
  D         C                     
names not numbers on the gateposts
    G C D C

        G           C        D   
And the eyes in the curtain 
       C                    G C D C
follow you like a smirking ghost
Em       Bm                      
I know I must not look back, 
   Am            Bm       C
'cause part of me is waiting still

C
There on Rocking Horse Road for you
Am
In a little dream house made for two
     C            D       G      
Well you were the one who made 
     C
your escape
C                D          
In your stocking feet and your 
   G      C
sticky tape

[Outro and fade, repeating with 
variation:]
C           D    G C
All the way down...
