  • Verse 1
    Ponies 
    in the 
    sun, 

    the 
    race 
    is 
    soon 
    beginning 

    My 
    father 
    bet 
    the 
    family 
    for
    tune 

    on 
    sleek 
    brown 
    horse 

    My 
    father 
    had 
    a hunch, 

    we gave 
    a blunt 

    So 
    daddy 
    could 
    make 
    wager 

    Ma 
    would 
    scoff, 

    she 
    would 
    scoff, 
    hear her 

    And 
    they're off! 

    La -la 
    -la 
    -la -la 
    -la 
    -la -la 

    Yeah, 
    they're 
    off! 

    La 
    -la -la 
    -la 
    -la -la 
    -la -la 
    -la 

    And 
    they move 
    in a herd 

    like 
    a four 
    -letter 
    word 

    And 
    they're 
    off! 
    -la 
    -la 
    -la 
    -la 
    -la 

    Tickets 
    float 
    to 
    the 
    ground 

    And 
    the band 
    stops 
    to play 

    as 
    the 
    horses 
    go 
    round 

    And 
    they're 
    off! 

    Mommy 
    sat 
    and 
    cried, 

    but 
    Dad 
    was 
    unaf
    fected. 

    He 
    said, 
    Have you 
    ever 
    had 

    better 
    two 
    minutes 

    in the 
    last 
    three 
    years? 

    She 
    said, 
    But 
    Joe, 
    the dum
    b horse, 
    lost. 

    He 
    said, 
    Some
    times 
    joy 
    has 
    a terrible 
    cost, 

    know that. 

    We 
    would laugh, 
    we 
    would sneer, 

    we 
    would scoff 
    and 
    laugh. 

    La 
    -la -la 
    -la 
    -la -la 
    -la -la 
    -la 

    Yeah, 
    they're 
    off 

    La -la -la 
    -la 
    -la -la 
    -la -la 
    -la -la 

    Mommy's 
    bit
    ing 
    his neck 

    as 
    they roll 
    on 
    the deck 

    An
    d La 
    -la 
    -la 
    -la 

    There 
    is 
    blood 
    on 
    the ground 

    And 
    the 
    band 
    starts 
    to 
    play 

    as 
    the 
    horses 
    go 
    round 

    And 
    they're 
    off 

    Is
    n't 
    life 
    funny? 

    People 
    lose 
    money 
    an
    have 
    fun. 

    Betting 
    of course 
    is 
    hell 
    on 
    the horses 

    and 
    on 
    families 
    where 
    the 

    bet
    ting is 
    done. 

    It's 
    a joke 
    to believe 

    someone's 
    won. 

    All we 
    did was 
    fight. 

    Plus 
    they 
    discussed 
    the 
    weather. 

    My 
    father 
    bet 
    the 
    family 
    for
    tune 

    till 
    it 
    disappeared. 

    We 
    also 
    laughed 
    a lot, 

    that 
    was 
    a thing 

    of
    ten 
    forgot 
    to 
    men
    tion, 

    but 
    it's 
    true. 

    Yes, 
    it's 
    true, 
    it is 
    true, 
    and he's 
    on! 

    La -la -la 
    -la 
    -la 
    -la -la 
    -la 
    -la 

    Daddy's 
    on! 

    La 
    -la -la 
    -la 
    -la -la -la 
    -la 
    -la -la 

    We 
    get let
    ters 
    from Maine 

    where 
    he tries 
    to 
    explain 
    why 

    he's 
    on. -la -la 
    -la 

    But 
    this loss 
    was 
    not 
    found 

    And 
    the band 
    starts 
    to 
    play 

    as 
    the 
    horses 
    go 
    round 

    An
    they're 
    off 

    And 
    they're off! 

    hear the 
    bell 
    at the 
    starting 
    gate 

    They 
    are off 

    We're 
    celebrating 

    as we 
    move 
    and move 
    and 

    And 
    they move 
    and 
    hurt 

    like 
    a four 
    -letter 
    word 

    And 
    they're 
    off! 

    There is blood 

    There 
    is 
    blood 

    On 
    the 

    On 
    the 
    ground 

    And 
    the band 
    starts 
    to 
    play 

    As 
    the 
    horses 
    go 
    round 

    And 
    round 

    And 
    round 

    And 
    around 

    And 
    around 

    And 
    around 

    And 
    around 

    Outro 1
    And 
    they're off!

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
