Slow Pony Home

G                         C            G
It's the second September I have known you
                      Em
Four years or so ago, I rode a pony, called him "Truth"
D                            Em           D            G
We didn`t know the way so it took us till today to get here

[Chorus]
Em                   C
And all that time, I felt just fine
Em                          D
I held so many people in my suitcase heart
Em
I was glad to let the whole thing go
C
It was taken by the wind and snow
Em                                 D
And I still didn't know that I was waiting
C               D         G         C G
For a girl on a slow pony home

[Verse]
G                   C             G
I can remember when I first saw you
                            Em
You said in my photograph I looked more far away
              D                        Em          D             G
I laughed and smiled and didn't say "I am a bit afraid to be here."

[Chorus]
Em                   C
And all that time, I felt just fine
Em                          D
I held so many people in my suitcase heart
Em
I was glad to let the whole thing go
C
It was taken by the wind and snow
Em                                 D
And I still didn't know that I was waiting
C               D         G         C G
For a girl on a slow pony home

[Verse]
C                           Em
Setting free the anchor and looking past the shore
C                       A                                  D
It's a sea of horses on ships with no sails, no motors, no oars

G                      C                    G
Now we're cleaning the windows between us two
                           Em
Funny, you do it once, and then again, and pretty soon
    D                            Em            D                  G
the fingerprints and dust... but I've begun to trust the view here.

[Chorus]
Em                   C
And all that time, I felt just fine
Em                          D
I held so many people in my suitcase heart
Em
I was glad to let the whole thing go
C
It was taken by the wind and snow
Em                                 D
And I still didn't know that I was waiting
C               D         G         C G
