Verse:
G5 B5
The crossroads of the stepping stones
G5 C5
Older than the oldest pebble in the winding streams (it's there if you can find it)
D5
A place for good dreams (just to get away)
G5 B5
I once went to the crossroads of the stepping stones
G5 C5
I met a boy who spoke in tones that were as young as time (he was so glad to see me)
D5
Singin' in rhyme (sounded far away)
We were there alone
Interlude: G5 - B5 - G5 - C5 - D5
(How do you do, sir?
Please come along with me,
and I'll show you the way
to another day.
If you wanna be free
Come on along with me
Take my hand
And I'll take you to the promised land)
That part with all the modulations before the bridge: F5 - Bb5 - G5 - C5 - Ab5 - C#5
Bridge:
Eb5
He said "not many people come here
Bb5
It's very hard to find
E (4th fret)
Oh, but if you stay
We'll have some wine here
D5
The sun is shinin' just fine here"
C5 D5 ( D5 )
I said "I'll stay just as long as you'd be so kind
N.C.
As to invite me"
Verse:
G5 B5
The crossroads of the stepping stones
G5 C5
Right underneath the glassy waters of the winding streams (they shine when sunlight hits them )
D5
A place for good dreams (just to get away)
G5 B5
We went back to the crossroads of the stepping stones
G5 C5
The dragonflies were skimming over the water's face (they barely touched the surface)
D5
A featherbed place (music of its own) [not really sure about this line]
Won't you come along
Outro: G5 - B5 - G5 - C5 - D5
(Well, I'm glad you could make it
Now just step this way
Let's see if we can find him again
It's not very far
Just around the bend over here
Yeah, I can see we're gettin' closer now
Ahh, there he is
Look at that smile!
Yeah, don't it make you feel good!
Yeah, he's waitin'!
Yeah, come on, come on, come on!
Yeah, he's waitin' for us!)
