G5                     C5           G5
On Saturday mornings I'd ride to the movies,
C5          G5             C5             D5 
Booted and spurred on my horse made of tin
G5                 C5              G5
Tie-up my cyi-use outside on the pavement

C5           G5            D5        G5
Lay down my sixpence and mosey on in.
D5                                 C5           G5
I'd sit in the front row with the other young cowboys
D5                  C5             G5
Waitin' for Roy to appear on the screen
D5                       C5            G5
Waitin' for Roy and his golden horse Trigger,
   C5        G5        D5           G5
To carry me off into my favorite dream.


Chorus:
G5                          C5           G5
Roy Rogers, Roy Rogers, Oh you were my hero,
  C5           G5          C5             D5
A man made of steel on a horse made of gold
G5                            C5          G5
Together we rode through the days of my childhood
C5             G5            D5          G5
Memories like heroes, they never grow old.


G5                     C5             G5
Together we rode over mountains and valleys
C5            G5                C5            D5
Camped out a night 'neath the wide prairie sky,
G5                            C5          G5           
We'd sing cowboy songs as we sat by the campfire
C5                G5          D5           G5
While out in the darkness a wild coyote cried
D5               C5               G5
Yi-pi-tie-yi-yo baked beans and coffee,
D5                         C5          G5
Tall tales and true as we sat by the fire
D5                          C5            G5
Then up in the morning and away we'd go riding.
C5           G5           D5          G5
Two gay caballeros, two heroes for hire.


G5                           C5          G5
And now I'm a man, and I've hung up my six-gun
C5            G5         C5             D5
No more do I ride on a horse made of tin.
G5                       C5            G5
Now I ride subways, and freeways and railways,
C5            G5         D5           G5
Instead of a six-gun I now wield a pen.
D5                         C5         G5
But part of my heart will always be ridin'
D5                                C5           G5
Along the bright canyons and the wild forest ways
D5                        C5        G5
Along with Roy Rogers my faithful companion,
C5        G5         D5            G5
Into the sunset of my childhood days.

Chorus:
    G5                      C5           G5
Roy Rogers, Roy Rogers, Oh you were my hero,
  C5           G5          C5             D5
A man made of steel on a horse made of gold
G5                            C5          G5
Together we rode through the days of my childhood
C5             G5            D5          G5
Memories like heroes, they never grow old.


G5                      C5         
He was my friend, yes, he was my friend.
D5               G5
He never let me down.
       G5                         C5         
He was honest and faithful right up to the end
D5                         C5         G5
I loved Roy Rogers 'cause he was my friend.
