F#m 
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. 
F#m 
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. 
F#m 
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. 
F#m           Bm    Bm7              Bm   Bm7            Bm   F#m 
Standing in a slide zone, I could be step-pin' through a time zone. 
F#m 
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. 
F#m           Bm    Bm7              Bm   Bm7       Bm    F#m 
Standing in a slide zone, I could be step-pin' in a slide zone. 
F#m           Bm    Bm7              Bm   Bm7            F#sus4 
Standing in a slide zone, I could be step-pin' through a time zo-o-o-one.

F#m 
I turned my head and I looked below, and there was something that I know. 
Suddenly I began to fall, I looked around and I tried to call. 

( F#m           Bm    Bm7 ) 

        Bm  Bm7       Bm   Bm7          Bm   F#m 
Standing in a slide zone, he had me step-pin   in  a  time zone. 
Standing in a slide zone,           walking through a time zone. 
F#m 
Help me please I thought I said, did something happen in my head? 
The music came from all around, and I knew what I had found. 
F#m           Bm    Bm7          Bm   Bm7           Bm   F#m
