G                        C
Well, the angels came to see me today
              G          C          D
Said, "We've taken your racehorse away"
         G                     C
And I believe it was that bookmaker from Crail
     G            C               D
I believe that he put one in her pail

[Verse 2]
             G              C
And all the finest in the field
     G                                    C             D
Only measured to her shoulders, they only ever seen her heels
        G           C
And I believe every sporting man will cry
    G                C                D
I believe to see his income pass him by

[Chorus 1]
Am
She won the Lanark Silver Bell
                     G
And she stole every heart away
      Am                                     C
She stood her stand at sixteen hands and I'd ride her easy
             G      D                   G
But they've taken, taken my racehorse away

[Verse 3]
G                           C
There's a racecourse in the sky
                 G                             C      D
And that's where all the racing horses must go by and by
         G          C
And I believe every steward, lord and groom
     G                 C           D
I believe that they're calling her home

[Chorus 2]
Am
She would look at me in the eyes
                     G
And that was all she had to say
      Am                                     C
She stood her stand at sixteen hands and I'd ride her easy
             G      D                   G
But they've taken, taken my racehorse away


[Outro]

C                   D          G
   They've taken my racehorse away
C                   D          G
   They've taken my racehorse away
C                   D          G
   They've taken my racehorse away
C                   D          G
   They've taken my racehorse away
