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 [D]Doubt gave birth to a, [Em]beautiful stone[Em]
[G]And in my hand I [D]held it, and I [Em]knew I was on my own,
[Em]So I picked it up,
[G]      And [D]held it to the [Em]sky...
[G] And in my re[D]flection, I [Em]knew I was all alone,
Yeah[Em], Yeah..[G].then I saw this [D]girl with the most
[Em]  beautiful hair, she had it
[G] Wrapped around [D]her, for cl[Em]othes she did not wear.
[G] I asked her for a [D]lock, and she compli[Em]ed,
after leaving
[G] Georgous footsteps in [D]the sand, as [Em]if 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
{section: Introduction}
Well... She was the [G]prettiest girl I e[D]ver saw and
[Em]stone lay still without a flaw, and the f[C]eelings I
had to [G]fight the law as I [D]came to, and I went to
And I [G]took a look, a look [D]down the road, to see a
[Em]badger, and a one eyed toad. They didn't [C]say a word,
They just [G]looked at me with t[D]hat,
Wise old look of the [G]ol[D]d.[Em]..   [C]Ye[G]ah[D]...  [D]Wise old look of the
[G]ol[D]d.[Em]..   [C]Ye[G]ah[D]...

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 [G]ring, from the fly[D]ing horses,
[Em]  and I can't begin to explain now. (Move quickly into the next line)
[G]I stole the ring from the fly[D]ing horses,
[Em]  And its al[C]l ru[C]sty [C]now,
[G]I stole the ring from the fly[D]ing horses,
[Em]  And I can't begin to explain now

[G] I stole the ring from the fly[D]ing horses,
[Em]  And its all [C]rust[C]y no[C]w,
Its all [D]rusty...

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
{section: 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.

{sot}   [G]       [D]       [Em]     [C]

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.
