C*
I went down to the racetrack at hollywood park
                    G
just like we would always do
G
I took along my sketchpad and hung around the fence
                                             C     C7
tried to get the line that the jocks and the ponys cast
F                  G          C   B/C    Am
But it was not the same without you there
F              G                 C
It was not the same without you there

C*
I tried to make the good bet the sure bet the winning bet
                             G
the bet they'd sing about at La Scala
G     
No stupid exactas no show bets on the favorite
G                            C     C7
ones you'd spit on and call sissy lala
F                  G         C   B/C   Am
But it was not the same without you there
F              G                  C
It was not the same without you there

F                         G
What is it about you that makes it seem like in the
C                   F               G
Wizard of Oz when it's suddenly in color?

C*
Oh the man who plays the trumpet's going do do do dododo do dododo do do do do
                                 G
And the horses are coming out on the track
G
I think I'll go check out the ponys and try to out guess Mazurski
                                   C     C7
maybe win what I lost in that last race back
F                  G         C   B/C   Am
But it was not the same without you there
F              G                C
It was not the same without you there
