INTRO

VERSE
Am7
He's a one-trick pony
Am7 | Am7 | % |
One trick is all that horse can do
D7
He does one trick only
D7 | Am7 | % |
It's the principle source of his revenue
G D/F#
And when he steps into the spotlight
F Bm7b5
You can feel the heat of his heart
E7 [Am7]
Come rising through


INTERLUDE
| Am7 | % |


VERSE
Am7
See how he dances
Am7 | Am7 | % |
See how he loops from side to side
D7
See how he prances
D7 | Am7 | % |
The way his hooves just seem to glide
G D/F#
He's just a one-trick pony, that's all he is
F Bm7b5 E7 [Am7]
But he turns that trick with pride


INTERLUDE
| Am7 | Am7 Bdim |


CHORUS
[Bdim] C C9
He makes it look so easy, he looks so clean
F F#dim7
He moves like God's immaculate machine
C/G
He makes me think about
E7/G#
All of 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


INTERLUDE / SOLO

VERSE
Am7
He's a one-trick pony

He either fails or he succeeds
D7
He gives his testimony
D7 | Am7 | % |
Then he relaxes in the weeds
G D/F#
He's got one trick to last a lifetime
F Bm7b5 E7 | Am7 | % |
But that's all a pony needs - yeah, that's all he needs
