Verse 1:
Am7
He's a one-trick pony
One trick is all that horse can do
D7
He does one trick only
Am7
It's the principal source of his revenue
G D/F#
And when he steps into the spotlight
F Bm7/5-
You can feel the heat of his heart
Am7
Come rising through
Verse 2:
See how he dances
See how he loops from side to side
See how he prances
The way his hooves just seem to glide
He's just a one-trick pony
that's all he is, but he turns that
trick with pride
Chorus:
C
He makes it look so easy
C9
He looks so clean
F F#dim
He moves like God's immaculate machine
C/G
He makes me think about
E7/G#
All these extra moves I make
Am
And all this herky-jerky motion
C/Bb
And the bag of tricks it takes
F Bb9
To get me through my working day,
Am7
one-trick pony
Solo
Verse 3:
He's a one-trick pony
He either fails or he succeeds
He gives his testimony
Then he relaxes in the weeds
He's got one trick to last a lifetime
But that's all
a pony needs
Solo 2
Chorus:
He looks so easy
He looks so clean
He moves like God's immaculate machine
He makes me think about
All these extra moves I make
And all this herky-jerky motion
And the bag of tricks it takes
To get me through my working day,
one-trick pony
End:
Am7
one-trick pony
(one-trick pony) x4
