Tom Russell - Throwin' Horseshoes At The Moon


CAPO: 3rd Fret


Intro:
G+G G/F# F7F7 E7E7

Verse 1:
  G+G      G/F#       F7F7        E7E7
My father was a gambler, he threw horseshoes at the moon
  C majorC   G+G          D/F#D/F#      C majorC
He won a million dollars and lost a million, too
                 G+G        C majorC
They repossessed the house, they towed that Cadillac
  A minorAm       E minorEm          FF        D/F#D/F#
My daddy, he just smiled and said, "One day I'll win it back"

Verse 2:
  G+G         G/F#      F7F7      E7E7
My daddy bought that Cadillac off a Detroit motor line
    C majorC          G+G      D/F#D/F#       C majorC
Then he drove it through his hometown to prove he hit his prime
                G+G         C majorC
With hundred dollars bills in a Saint Chris money clip
  A minorAm        E minorEm        FF        D/F#D/F#
And four kids staring proudly from that big old sinking ship
              E minorEm
Throwin' horseshoes at the moon


Chorus:
      C majorC      G+G
Boys, it's mighty risky odds
  C majorC         G+G        D/F#D/F#         E minorEm
Sometimes ya hook the milky way or the outstretched hands of god
  C majorC              G+G       C majorC
But mostly they just fall into a dark and dusty hole
    A minorAm        E minorEm       FF        D/F#D/F#
And the sound of falling horse shoes, it pulls upon your soul
              E minorEm
Throwin' horseshoes at the moon


Instrumental:
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm  C majorC  B minorBm
G+G C majorC  A minorAm E MajorE FF D/F#D/F#

Verse 3:
  G+G      G/F#      F7F7      E7E7
My daddy was a gambler, but he had an honest heart
  C majorC      G+G       D/F#D/F#       C majorC
He never did complain when the whole thing fell apart
                     G+G         C majorC
He just swam that sea of alcohol till he reached the other side
  A minorAm      E minorEm       FF        D/F#D/F#
How can you be a loser when you never lose your pride?
              E minorEm
Throwin' horseshoes at the moon


Chorus
      C majorC      G+G
Boys, it's mighty risky odds
  C majorC         G+G        D/F#D/F#         E minorEm
Sometimes ya hook the milky way or the outstretched hands of god
  C majorC              G+G       C majorC
But mostly they just fall into a dark and dusty hole
    A minorAm        E minorEm       FF        D/F#D/F#
And the sound of falling horse shoes, it pulls upon your soul
              E minorEm  c
Throwin' horseshoes at the moon
     D MajorD         G+G
