 I guess  I'll show my head
 (,,,  riff)
 Either way I'm losing
Used  to have the goods
That  when I could use 'em
  G (fiddle on the B string 1st fret)
 Standing by the ocean
  Fmaj7 G D (Sounds awesome if you slide the Fmaj7 figuration up from
 1st to 3rd fret as to make out a G)
 Like I'm frozen here in time

 So don't  let go, don't change  your mind
 If the stars  fall into the ocean side
Someone  hold  the ribbons from  my eyes, free,  my soul
  G (Slide 1st to 3rd fret on E string followed by 2nd to 3rd fret and

 I didn't  travel far
 (,,,  riff)
 But my feet were moving
Couldn't  read the signs
They  were too confusing

 The stars  fall into the ocean side
Someone  hold  the ribbons from  my eyes, free,  my soul
 Let him roll  away on an invisible riverside
