INTRO: G 
 
G                              C9          D 
I turned on the news, then I wondered what for 
G                                        C9               D 
Another kid brought a gun to school, a politician lied some more 
      C                      D         G        G/F#      Em 
It's enough to make a grown man try to make it make some sense 
C                              D 
And wonder where we lost our innocence 
 
CHORUS: 
          G                      C             D          G        C     D 
Singin' come back Gene and Roy, back to the Saturday matinee 
          G                  C          D                 G        C     D 
Just like when I was a boy, deliver me from the bad old days 
             G 
The bad old days 
 
 
C   D 
The magazine said OJ lost his head 

Oklahoma City rumbled, and the children bled 

I wish that I could change things but I don't know where to start 

It leaves a longing for my childhood down in my heart 
 
CHORUS 
 
BRIDGE: 
    C            D             G - G/F#   Em 
I'm back in the saddle, happy trails to you 
   C                                D 
No I wouldn't trade the old for the new 
 
Some guy married his uncle on the Springer Show 

And a website full of kiddie porn is more than I wanna know 

My heart and soul both ache from a sickness I can't cure 

I need a shot of my heroes clean and pure 
 
CHORUS 
 
 
C  D 
 
         G                              C        D                              
Singin' come back Gene and Roy (happy trails to you) 
 G                          C             D 
Come back Gene and Roy (I'm back in the saddle) 
         G                              C        D 
Singin' come back Gene and Roy (Happy trails to you) 
 G                          C            D 
Come back Gene and Roy (I'm back in the saddle again) 
 
 
G  C  D    (repeat out)
