Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free?
C G
If you’ve ever seen a one trick pony, then you’ve seen me.
Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making its way down the street?

Then you’ve seen me… I come and stand at every door.
F C
Then you’ve seen me… I always leave with less than I had before.
F C Am7
Then you’ve seen me. Bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor…
G F Am7

G F C

Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and wheat?
If you’ve ever seen that scarecrow, then you’ve seen me.
Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze?
If you’ve ever seen a one-armed man, then you’ve seen me.
CHORUS
C F C

If you’ve ever seen a one-legged man, then you’ve seen me…
