I took a ride in a limosine, I took a road I've never been.
I met a stranger along the way, his coat was torn but his eyes were clear.
F#m Bm Bm7 Bm Bm7 Bm F#m
Standing in a slide zone, step-pin' in a slide zone.

He told me where a river flows, he showed me how the apple grows.
He told me of a magic street, his face was worn but his eyes were clear.
F#m Bm Bm7 Bm Bm7 Bm F#m
Standing in a slide zone, I could be step-pin' in a slide zone.
Standing in a slide zone, I could be step-pin' through a time zone.

He went to find a shooting star, around the bend that's where they are.
I went along just for the ride, suddenly I began to smile.

Standing in a slide zone, I could be step-pin' through a time zone.

The air raced by,there was no sound, we're drifting high above the ground.
And then he said "you will know this place",and then a smile lit up his face.

I took a ride in a limousine,
I took a road I'd never been.
I met a stranger by the way,
His coat was torn but his eyes were clear.
Standing in a slide zone,
Steppin' in a slide zone.
He told me where a river flows,
He showed me how the apple grows.
He told me of a magic stream,
His face was worn but his eyes were clear.
Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin' in a slide zone.
Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin' through a time zone.
He went to find a shooting star,
Around the bend, that's where they are.
I went along just for the ride,
Suddenly I began to slide.
Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin' through a time zone.
The air raced by there was no sound,
We drifted high above the ground.
And then he said you know this place,
And then a smile lit up his face.
Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin' in a slide zone.
Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin' through a time zone.
I turned my head and I looked below, Slide zone...
And there was something there I know.
Suddenly I began to fall,
I looked around and tried to call.
Standing in a slide zone,
He had me steppin' in a time zone.
Standing in a slide zone,
Falling through a time zone.
Help me please, I thought I said,
Then something happened in my head.
Music came from all around,
And I knew what I had found.
Standing in a slide zone,
Falling through a time zone.
Steppin' in a slide zone,
He had me falling through a time zone.
Slide zone, slide zone,
Slide zone, time zone.
To go from Bm to Bm7 just lift the little finger off the Bm and return back to
Bm. Barre all chords.
