Intro A Em A D A D

Verse 1

D D7 G Em
The childhood memories I treasure the most I suppose
A A7 A D
were the Saturday 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 D7
and I'd see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen

Chorus 1

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus 2

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
