Intro A augmentedA E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD

Verse 1

  D MajorD                 D7D7   G+G    E minorEm
The childhood memories I treasure the most I suppose
     A augmentedA          A7A7      A augmentedA       D MajorD
were the Saturday afternoons spent at the town's picture show
A augmentedA  D MajorD       A augmentedA      D MajorD             G+G   E minorEm
I'd work all day long in the fields but at night I would dream
A augmentedA         E minorEm    A augmentedA          D MajorD   A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
That I'd see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen
D MajorD    A augmentedA       D MajorD     A augmentedA    G+G  E minorEm
Saturday mornings I'd walk five miles or more
   A augmentedA       E minorEm       A augmentedA            D MajorD  A augmentedA D MajorD
and twelve O'clock noon found me first one in line at the door
A augmentedA D MajorD        A augmentedA    D MajorD   A augmentedA       G+G  E minorEm
I worked all week long but today I fulfilled my dream
             A augmentedA           D MajorD   D7D7
and I'd see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen

Chorus 1

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

A augmentedA E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA

Verse 2

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

Chorus 2

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