Watercolour Ponies
Wayne Watson
*The Am9 and Fmmaj7/E should be played as follows to emulate Wayne's concert version of
this song:
Am9
E:0
B:0
G:5
D:5
A:0
E:x
Fmmaj7/E
E:0
B:6
G:5
D:6
A:x
E:0
I think this is the exact way he plays these two chords in concerts, not on the original
album. He finishes the song with a progression that sounds a lot like "Wishing You
Were Here" by Chicago and adds these two chords:
B11/E
E:0
B:4
G:4
D:4
A:0
E:x
A#maj13/A
E:0
B:3
G:3
D:3
A:0
E:x
(Capo 4)

Am9 FmMaj7/E
There are watercolour ponies
Am9 Gm C
On my refrigerator door
F Em Bm7 E7 Am9 Fmmaj7/E
In the shape of something I don't really recognize
Am9 Fmmaj7/E
Brushed with careful little fingers
Am9 Gm C
And put proudly on display
F Em Bm7 E7 Am9 Fmmaj7/E
A reminder to us all of how time flies
Am9 Fmmaj7/E
Seems an endless mound of laundry
Am9 Gm C
And a stairway laced with toys
F Em Bm7 E7 Am9 Fmmaj7/E
Gives a blow by blow reminder of the war
Am9 Fmmaj7/E
That we fight for their well-being
Am9 Gm C
For their greater understanding
F Em Bm7 E7 A
To impart a holy reverence for the Lord
A E
But baby, what will we do
F#m C#m
When it comes back to me and you
D A/C# Bm7 E A E
They look a little less like little ones every day
A E
Oh the pleasure of watchin' the children growin'
F#m C#m
Is mixed with a bitter cup
D A/C# Bm7
Of knowin' the watercolour ponies
E A
Will one day ride away
Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 G
And the vision can get so narrow
C G - C
As you view through your tiny world
Gsus G - C G - C
And little victories can go by with no applause
Am
But in the greater evaluation
Em
As they fly from your nest of love
F Em Bm7 E7 Esus E Esus E
May they mount up with wings as eagles for His cause
A E
Still I wonder baby, what will we do
F#m C#m
When it comes back to me and you
D A/C# Bm7 E7 A E
They look a little less like little ones every day
A E
Oh the pleasure of watchin' the children growin'
F#m C#m
Is mixed with a bitter cup
D A/C# Bm7
Of knowin' the watercolour ponies
E
Will one day
Bm7 E Am9 [ch]B11/A[/ch]
One day ride away
Am9 [ch]B11/E[/ch]
Ride Away
