[Verse 1]
C                    G
Sometimes you dream, sometimes it seems

G                            C
There's nothing there at all

    Am                   Em
You just seem older than yesterday

           F                       G
And you're waiting for tomorrow to call

    C                       G
You draw to the curtain and one thing's for certain

       G                         C
You're cozy in your little room

    Am                        Em
The carpet's all paid for God bless the TV

      F                      G
Let's go shoot a hole in the moon
[Chorus]
        C             D
Oh, and Roy Rogers is riding tonight

  F                     C
Returning to our silver screens

G                     C
Comic book characters never grow old

F                      D            G
Evergreen heroes whose stories were told

       Am                      Em
Oh the great sequin cowboy who sings of the plains

   F                         D           G
Of roundups and rustlers and home on the range

Am              Em                      F         G      C  Csus4  C
Turn on the TV, shut out the lights Roy Rogers is riding tonight
[Verse 2]
C                      G
Nine o'clock mornings, five o'clock evenings

                        C
I'd liven the pace if I could

       Am                      Em
Oh I'd rather have a ham in my sandwich than cheese

       F                        G
But complaining wouldn't do any good

    C                    G
Lay back in my armchair, close eyes and think clear

                       C
I can hear hoof beats ahead

Am                   Em
Roy and Trigger have just hit the hilltop

          F                        G
While the wife and the kids are in bed
[Chorus]
        C             D
Oh, and Roy Rogers is riding tonight

  F                     C
Returning to our silver screens

G                     C
Comic book characters never grow old

F                      D            G
Evergreen heroes whose stories were told

       Am                      Em
Oh the great sequin cowboy who sings of the plains

   F                         D           G
Of roundups and rustlers and home on the range

Am              Em                      F         G      C  Csus4  C
Turn on the TV, shut out the lights Roy Rogers is riding tonight
