G In water still The night I met the pony It was so dark that I could hardly see It smelled so sweet you know who and Joanie So many butterflies one could not see Bm C D G We all could feel desire Bm C D Took off in flight Bm C D G It was hotter than fire Bm C D Then came the light A# Oooh, oooh Oooh, ah, now smell the heat A The dancing pony unwrapped his wings To dry off Joanie C The pony he grew in size In thunder and rain D# And finally realized A what he was and what he does G And what he couldn't say G And left to kiss the cheek of Mother Nature Nobody here can be denied such things Make the ladies you love, come honey No butterfly should be denied its wings Chorus: Bm C D G He were a kick ass rocking horse Bm C D He like a hell bent tied to the Gavin Pole Bm C D G It was a one time fantasy Bm C D I got the bare bones, fly into the Holy Land Bare back, flying like a ruddered man Nightmares, and he can't hold G a candle to my dreams We rode the night And took to wing It was so alright It was everything We flew into burning skies The thunder and rain And finally realized What he is and what he does And what he couldn't say Oh, no, no Took off in flight Oh, no, no Then came the light Flashback, something coming over me No sweat, one time fantasy Bare boned, and all that is the wind it seems Hell, who's the chick That rides into my dreams No livery No stable lights No try to please Nobody's eyes We'll never see us again In time it'll pass And where did it all begin But all in good time Somebody shot an arrow Now tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me never Waking me because you're cold sometimes Being seduced will be your own pleasures What be his muse may be what he must find Chorus: He was a kick ass rocking horse He was a one horned, unicornucopia Two, two in Utopia Three star, verge into infinity Four...(four) Four...(four) Na na na na na Oooh, oooh You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A#  C  D  D#  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
