      E7                                    B7
You thought that you knew where I was and when
E7                                            B7
Baby it looks like they've been foolin' you again,
      F#7                                B7
You thought that you'd got me all staked out
F#7                                         B  B7
But baby, it looks like I've been breaking out

Chorus:
F      C    G
I'm a dark horse
              D            A
Running on a dark race course
F       C    G
I'm a blue moon
                 D           A
Since I stepped out of the womb
F            C    G
I've been a cool jerk
              F       A
Just looking for the source
F      C    G
I'm a dark horse.

You thought you had got me in your grip
Baby looks like you was not so smart
And I became too slippery for you
But let me say that was nothing new.

Chorus:
I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I picked up my first spoon
I've been a cool jerk
Looking for the source
            G   E7 B7 E7 B7
I'm a dark horse

I thought that you knew it all along
Until you started getting me not right
Seems as if you heared a little late
But I warned you when
We both were at the starting gate

Chorus:
I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I stepped from out of the womb
I've been a cool jerk
Cooking at the source
            G   E7 B7 E7 B
I'm a dark horse

I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I stepped out of the womb
I've been a cool jerk
Just looking for the source
F      C    G
I'm a dark horse.
