C              G
Ponies in the sun

Am                  G
The race is soon beginning

C                         G
My father bet the family fortune

       Am          G
On a sleek brown horse

Am          E
My father had a hunch

F
We gave up lunch

    Dm           E      Am
So Daddy could make a wager

C          G
Ma would scoff

G
She would scoff

G
Hear her scoff

             C
And they're off!

        Am
(La la la la la)

               G
Yeah, they're off!

           F
(La la la la la)

         C
And they move in a herd

        Am
Like a four letter word

             G
And they're off!

             E
(La la la la la)

         Am  G        F   D
Tickets float to the ground

         C              Am
And the band starts to play

        G          
As the horses go round

             C     G
And they're off!

C              G
Mommy sat and cried

Am              G
But Dad was unaffected

G
He said

    C                      G
"Have you ever had a better two minutes

       Am           G
In the last three years?"

G
She said

 Am            E
"But Joe, the dumb horse lost!"

E
He said

  F                    Dm      E
"Sometimes joy has a terrible cost

    Am        C  Am
I know that"

          G
We would laugh

G
We would sneer

G
We would scoff

             C
And they're off!

         Am
(La la la la la)

         G
Yeah, they're off!

(La la la la la)

           C
Mommy's biting his neck

           Am
As they roll on the deck

         G
And they're off

         E
(La la la la la)

         Am  G          F  D
There is blood on the ground

         C               Am
And the band starts to play

          G
As the horses go round

G#
   Isn't life funny?

         Cm
And have fun

G#
Betting, of course, is

         G
And on families where the betting is done

        G
It's a joke to believe someone's won

 C              G
All we did was fight

 Am            G
Plus they discussed the weather

     C                     G
My father bet the family fortune

        Am     G
Till it disappeared

    Am       E
We also laughed a lot

 F                   E              Am      D
That was a thing I often forgot to tell you

          G
But it's true

G
Yes, it's true

G
It is true

          C
And he's off!

        Am
(La la la la la)

We get letters from Maine

Where he tries to explain

    G
Why he's off

         E
(La la la la la)

          Am G          F  D
What was lost was not found

          C             Am
And the band starts to play

         G
As the horses go round

              C
And they're off!

                           Am
(I hear the bell at the starting gate)

          G
They are off!

                             F
(We're salivating as we're moving, moving down the track)

           C
And they move in a herd

        Am
Like a four letter word

        G
And they're off!

                 E
(Coming down the stretch)

          Am G         F  D
There is blood on the ground

         C              Am
And the band starts to play

          G
As the horses go round

      Am
And round and round

Am
And round and round

Am
And round and round

Am
And round and round

Am
And round and round

         G
And round and round

            C
And they're off!
