Flying Horses Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Play this two times. In the Gut the Van version, the harmonica was played basically

part 1 of the intro, but the one off Silent Steeples isn't.

Intro Part 2: The guitar becomes softer here, as the harmonica takes over. Play these

softly behind the harmonica.

G D Em C G D

G D Em C G D

And thus begins the 1st Verse. Make sure to the play the chords on the exact words that

was put on:

G The River of DDoubt gave birth to a, Embeautiful stoneEm

GAnd in my hand I Dheld it, and I Emknew I was on my own,

EmSo I picked it up,

G And Dheld it to the Emsky...

G And in my reDflection, I Emknew I was all alone,

 YeahEm, Yeah..G.then I saw this Dgirl with the most

Em beautiful hair, she had it

G Wrapped around Dher, for clEmothes she did not wear.

G I asked her for a Dlock, and she compliEmed,

after leaving

G Georgous footsteps in Dthe sand, as Emif she didn't care.

Now here's the Chorus. Let the silence continue from the 1st verse right up to beginning

"prettiest", where G begins. In the chorus, the C chord is seen, like it was seen in

Introduction

 Well... She was the Gprettiest girl I eDver saw and

Emstone lay still without a flaw, and the fCeelings I

 had to Gfight the law as I Dcame to, and I went to

 And I Gtook a look, a look Ddown the road, to see a

Embadger, and a one eyed toad. They didn't Csay a word,

 They just Glooked at me with tDhat,

 Wise old look of the GolDd.Em.. CYeGahD... DWise old look of the

GolDd.Em.. CYeGahD...

Basically do the same thing that I pointed out in the first verse, the same rhythm, just

the chords at the different words. It's easy to figure out. This is the second verse:

And then I went down to town

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

where magic horses fly

And you seldom see a frown

And here's my favorite part of the song, the Bridge:

 But then I stole the Gring, from the flyDing horses,

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

GI stole the ring from the flyDing horses,

Em And its alCl ruCsty Cnow,

GI stole the ring from the flyDing horses,

Em And I can't begin to explain now

G I stole the ring from the flyDing horses,

Em And its all CrustCy noCw,

 Its all Drusty...

Here is the third verse. Just do, once again, what I said entering the second verse. Do

same thing as the first verse.:

Ya see, cause that stone fell through my pocket

And that loch of hair blew away with the wind

If you Chance to see a pawn either, Well...

You know where they've been.

Here the chorus again. As I've said for the second and third verse, follow what the

Chorus says

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

We're much happier to be on our own

Beauty like that knows, no

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

You'll see a badger and a one eyed toad

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

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

Here's the solo. Mainly it's a sweet harmonica solo, but the guitar plays under it

It's the exact same chords from the intro, part 2.

G D Em C G D

G D Em C G D

Now, finally to end the song, play the bridge and fade away.

This is one of Dispatch greatest songs, at the least. I might have gotten some of the

wrong, sorry, but the timing of the chords and everything are perfect I think. Anyways,

rox, and peace.
