Horserace

Intro: C   /   A

                 A
There were thirty-thousand fans watched the race from the stands
                                 D
At the fairgrounds in Baltimore.
            A
And the reason that they cam was two horses by the name
                                         D
Of Beauty and The Magnum Force,
     E                                  A
Of Beauty and The Magnum Force.

There was tension in the crowd when the message was announced
That all the other horses had been scratched
It would be Beauty and The Force alone on the course
We had to put our money on the first or the last,
We had to put our money on first or the last.

        F#
Said, come on Beauty, bet on the Beauty,
I'm bettin' on Beauty to win
C#m
You got the power, I saw it in your eye
You got the power to win
F#
Oh, my Beauty, run like a rocket
You run like a rocket, you win
         D
Yeah, that's it Beauty, you're a lot more than pretty
E                                      C - A
My Beauty's runnin' to win

There was a thirty minute wait while they realigned the gate
So before I bet I made one final check
The Magnum Force was looking sleek but I figured she was weak
'Cause she was sassy while the beauty was laid back
She was sassy and the Beauty was laid back.

Chorus

The Beauty had it won from the sound of the gun
She was smokin' and The Magnum Force looked sad
A lot of folks were really chapped they figured Magnum had it wrapped
They didn't know that the Beauty was so bad
They didn't know that the Beauty was so bad

Chorus to fade
