E7
I hear those horses runnin
                               B
I hear all the men a shoutin, don't you, don't you
E7
I hear the pistol firin'
                          B
I see the flags a flyin, don't you,
F#7
Out of the gate they're headin west
  E7                                    B
I think my horse might be the best one don't you

[Verse 2]
     E7
Well Bookie's had him six to one
                                          B
But I know that horse can really run now don't you, don't you
E7
I don't often feel this way
                               B
I think it's my lucky day now don't you, don't you
   F#7
My baby cried, Don't go to the track
   E7                                     B

E7
Takin the lead he's out of sight
                                      B
I'd say that rider's ridin right now don't you
F#7
Around the corner in the stretch
