VERSE 1
Em        G          Em
Good old horseshoes
                 G    Em
Oh your band of gold
                      G           Em
It was back in those golden days
                          G
That they put the world on hold

A                    Em    A
 I never looked to them
                Em
And they never looked to me
     G
for company
 Em                  G
Special they would never be
     Em                   G     Em
The outcome we had yet to see


VERSE 2
Em              G         Em
This was twelve years ago
                 G             Em
And here's what happened next
                  G           Em
Some of us got out of there
                    G
And then some stood the test

A                 Em              A
 To stay close to your own thing
                   Em
That is if you have anything
G                  Em
Except gamling for a wedding ring
G                    Em
To stay out on the right wing
G                     Em
Well that never was my thing


VERSE 3
A
 When you're alright
Dsus2                  A
Everyone wants to be near you
                  Dsus2
They use your full name
                        A
And they wanna do what you do
                    Dsus2
They stay in your footsteps
                          A
And they live their lives through you
                 Dsus2
And then if you don't move
                  Em
They go follow someone new
                     A
Well you never did impress me
Em                          A         Asus2 A Asus2
And I never did much need your company


VERSE 4
A                          Dsus2                   A
So you'll never get to shake anyone's hand over here
              Dsus2                               A
And ain't it real clear that you're not getting nothing
                Dsus2                          A     Dsus2
For picking on my friends back when we were nothing
Em                       A        Asus2
So put your hands in your pockets
Em                A Asus2 A Asus2 A Asus2
And slide out of here
Em         G          Em G Em G Em G   Em
 Good old horseshoes
