And Theyre Off Acordes

[Verse]

C                 G E7
Ponies in the sun.
Am          G
The race is soon beginning.
C                        G            Am          G    E7
My father bet the family fortune on a sleek brown horse.
Am        E7           F
My father had a hunch, we gave up lunch so
E7                 Am   D7
Daddy could make a wager.
D7       Dm7
Ma would scoff. She would scoff. Hear her scoff!
 
[Chorus]
            C  Am
And they're off!
             G  Dm7
Yeah they're off!
         C                      Am                           G  E7
And they move in a herd, like a four letter word and they’re off
        Am  C7         F    D7
Tickets float, to the ground.
 
        C              Am7          G         Dm7
And the band starts to play as the horses go round.
And they're off!

Mommy sat and cried.
Am          G
But Dad was unaffected. He said,
          C          G                         Am          G     E7
"Have you ever had a better two minutes in the last three years?".We said,
Am           E7                           F
"But Dad the dumb horse lost!". He said "Sometimes joy
      E7                 Am      D7
has a terrible cost". I know that.
         Dm7
Ma would scoff. Woo! She would scoff. Hear her scoff.
 
[Chorus]
            C  Am
And they're off!
             G  Dm7
Yeah they're off!
         C                      Am                           G  E7
And they move in a herd, like a four letter word and they’re off
         Am  C7         F    D7
There is blood, on the ground.
 
        C              Am7          G         Dm7
And the band starts to play as the horses go round.

And they're off!
                                    C7         C7 B7 Bb7 A7
Isn't life funny? People lose money and have fun.
G#7
Betting of course, is hell on the horses.
        Dm7                G
And the families where the betting is done,
       Dm7                       G
it's a joke to believe someone's won.
 
C                G    E7
All they did was fight.
Am            G
Plus they discussed the weather.
   C                     G               Am    G    E7
My father bet the family fortune till it disappeared.
Am      E7             F                    E7              Am
We also laughed a lot. That was the thing I often forgot to tell you.
D7       Dm7
But it's true. Yes it's true. It is true.
 
         C   Am
And he's off!
        G  Dm7
Daddy's off!
       C                           Am                        G  E7
We get letters from Maine where he tries to explain why he's off.
          Am C7        F  D7
What was lost was not found.
        C             Am7          G         Dm7
And the band starts to play as the horses go round.
            G# Bb
And they're offfffffffff.
 
[Chorus]
            C  Am
And they're off!
             G  Dm7
Yeah they're off!
         C                      Am                           G  E7
And they move in a herd, like a four letter word and they’re off
         Am  C7         F    D7
There is blood, on the ground.
 
        C              Am7          G         Dm7
And the band starts to play as the horses go round.
    Dm7
And round And round. And round And around. And around.
            C
And they're off!
