Rocking Horse Road Lyrics

Intro: G C D C (same pattern through the first part of the verses)
The chains from the bridle and the reins fell from my hands
The engines are idle and the ship sails on dry land
I stood there stupefied, I thought I recog-nized
Walking down Rocking Horse Road, getting lost
Shot through Vaseline, he picks up the paper from the lawn
And tucks the Suburban Assassin underneath his arm
He smiles weakly and turns away. I 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
It's like a photograph
From the other side of the world
I said "I want you only"
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
(Back to standard verse level) G C D C (x2)
The cemetery gardens, there are names not numbers on the gateposts
And the eyes in the curtain follow you like a smirking ghost
I know I must not look back, 'cause part of me is waiting still
There on Rocking Horse Road for you
In a little dream house made for two
Well you were the one who made your escape
In your stocking feet and your sticky tape
(Outro and fade, repeating with variation:)
All the way down...
