Written and recorded by Moxy Fruvous
From the album "Wood" (WEA CD-10616, 1995)
Transcribed August 1995 by Charlie Gibbs (Charlie_Gibbs@mindlink.bc.ca)
Piano intro: Em G D Am G D C
G D G Bm A7
My sister Sue and me were doing stunts with electric trains.
Em D C Em
She said she'd do my dishes so I handed her the reins.
D C G Gmaj7 C
And she engineered a collision steered by a hand-eye protege.
Em D C
Before my train set started burnin' I heard my sister say:
(Chorus)
A7sus4
Look straight at the coming disaster
Em G
Realize what you've lost
D Am
You keep handin' out horseshoes
G D C
Horseshoes have gotta be tossed.

G D C
Horseshoes have gotta be tossed.
G D G Bm A7
I dreamed I went to heaven 'cause I told my lover lies.
Em D C Em
When I woke up I went to her and looked her in the eyes.
D C G Gmaj7 C
I said help me cry 'cause I can't deny this union's feeling wrong.
Em D C
Then a flashback to the dream and angels singing songs.
(Chorus)
(Bridge: Am C G Am Cm G)
G D G Bm A7
Don't push the river, if you love it set it free.
Em D C Em
I said go on and see him, you can still come home to me.
D C G Gmaj7 C
I was satisfied God was on our side 'cause we're freer than the birds.
Em D C
She sent me a letter, I didn't read it, I already knew the words.
(Chorus x 2)
Em D C
Horseshoes have gotta be tossed. (repeat and fade)
