Intro A Em A D A

    D            A         D          A      G       Em
The childhood memories I treasure the most I suppose
                              A                            D   A D A
were the Satuurday afternoons spent at the town's picture show
A   D             A           D                          G     Em
I'd work all day long in the fields but at night I would dream
A                 Em        A                    D      A D A
That I'd see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen
D        A             D         A       G    Em
Saturday mornings I'd walk five miles or more
     A             Em             A                       D   A D
and twelve O'clock noon found me first one in line at the door
A  D               A        D      A             G    Em
I worked all week long but today I fulfilled my dream
                          A                     D
and I'd see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen

    G                                        D  A D
The man in the white cowboy hat is a hero to me
A   D          A      D              Em          A
He was and he is now and I guess he always will be
D          A          D            A            G     Em
Time takes away many things but it can't take a dream
A                                             D
And I see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen

A Em A D A D A

D                                                G   Em
Oft as a child from our home in the country I'd roam
                   A                        Em         D   A D
And my Daddy would scold me cause I'd never be around home
A      D        A        D                                      G   Em
Ah but Mom understood me cause she'd always smile when I use to say
      A        Em          A                       D   A  D
Gene Autry and I have been rounding up outlaws all day

G                                            D  A D
The man in the white cowboy hat is a hero to me
A   D          A      D              Em         A
He was and he is now and I guess he always will be
D          A          D             A           G     Em
Time takes away many things but it can't take a dream
A                                             D
And I see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen
A                                             D      A  D
And I see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen
