    a girl with caleidoscope eyes.

2.    Follow her down to a bridge by the fountain,

                E                     E7              A                   C

    where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.

      E                E7                A                 Am

    Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,

               E          E7          A

    that grow so incredibly high.

       F                             G                           C                              F

    Newspaper taxis appear on the shore, waiting to take you away,

      G                                         D                                             A

    climb in the back with your head in the clouds and you're gone.
