Verse 
   G            G/F#              F7                E7 
My father was a gambler, he threw horseshoes at the moon 
   C     G                    Em/F#           C 
He won a million dollars, and lost a million, too 
                                G                 C 
They repossessed the house, and towed that Cadil- lac 
   Am             E                     F               F# 
My daddy, he just smiled and said, "One day I'll win it back" 

   G                 G/F#           F7            E7 
My daddy bought that Cadillac off a Detroit motor line 
        C                    G             Em/F#            C 
Then he drove it through his home town, to prove he hit his prime 
                                G                 C 
With hundred dollars bills in a Saint Chris money clip 
    Am                 E                 F               F#   D 
And four kids starrin' proudly from that big ole sinkin' ship 
                           Em 
Throwin' horseshoes at the moon 

           C            G 
Boys, it's mighty risky odds 
      C                 G                F#                    E 
Some- times ya hook the milky way or the outstretched hands of God 
    C                            G              C 
But mostly they just fall into a dark and dusty hole 
        Am               E           F               F#   D 
And the sound of fallin' horse shoes pulls upon your soul 
                            Em 
Throwin' horse shoes at the moon

Verse 
   G           G/F#           F7            E7 
My daddy was a gambler but he had an honest heart 
   C              G              Em/F#               C 
He never did com- plain when the whole thing fell a- part 
                                         G                 C 
He just swam that sea of alcohol till he reached the other side 
    Am          E            F               F#     D 
How can ya be a loser if you never loss your pride? 
                            Em 
Throwin' horse shoes at the moon 

           C            G 
Boys, it's mighty risky odds 
      C                 G                F#                    E 
Some- times ya hook the milky way or the outstretched hands of God 
    C                            G              C 
But mostly they just fall into a dark and dusty hole 
        Am               E           F               F#   D 
And the sound of fallin' horse shoes pulls upon your soul 
                            Em 
Throwin' horse shoes at the moon
