CHORUS:
 D                 A
Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro
E                    A
Back in the saddle again

Whoopi tai ai yeh, let him go on his way Back in the saddle again"

RIFF TO D                                A
My little boy said, "Daddy, who's Gene Autry?" His old movie was comin' on TV
                                         D                   E       A
And I said, "Let me tell you about him, son" And I took him upon my knee
                                                              D
Why, when I was a little boy about your size And just about every Saturday 
night
                           D                              E            A
When I could scrape up a dime for the movies And when my Daddy said alright"
                                       D                              A
"I'd be right downtown at the picture show Like everybody else that could
                                               E                  A
To see a handsome man On a big fine stallion goin' about, doin' good"

CHORUS:
          D                  A
Singin', "Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro
         E                   A
Put him back in the saddle again
        D                             A                 E      A
Whoopi tai ai yeh, let him go on his way Back in the saddle again"

D                                            A
Well, he could ride his horse and play his guitar
                      E    A
And sing all at the same time

And I was ridin' right along there beside him
         D           E       A
On that broomstick pony of mine"

"And you know his pistol never ran out of bullets

When the bad guys had to be stopped
                                D
And somehow his bullets never drew any blood

                                  A
But the bad guys dropped when he shot"
                                  E
"Yeah, old Gene was an image of justice
                   A
And goodness and purity

And in the eyes of a poor, little country boy
              E                  A
He made the world look better to me"

CHORUS:
          D                  A
Singin', "Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro
         E                   A
Put him back in the saddle again
        D                             A                 E      A
Whoopi tai ai yeh, let him go on his way Back in the saddle again"

          D
"And you know the way
                           A
He rescued the rancher's daughter
                                  E
He'd sent a thrill right up the aisle
                                     A
And the endin' would always send us home
         E               A
With a good victorious smile"
                               D
"Now you ask me, 'Who's Gene Autry?'
       A                  E         A
Well, son, go ahead and watch the show
          D                             A
And then ride off into the sunset with him
             E          A
Like I did forty years ago"

CHORUS:
          D                  A
Singin', "Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro
         E                   A
Put him back in the saddle again
        D                             A                 E      A
Whoopi tai ai yeh, let him go on his way Back in the saddle again"
