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 Eric Bogle 'Front Row Cowboy' #Chorded by Shawn and Andrew Prest 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. Eric Bogle 'Front Row Cowboy' 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.
