INTRO: G5 
 
G5                              C5          D5 
I turned on the news, then I wondered what for 
G5                                        C5               D5 
Another kid brought a gun to school, a politician lied some more 
      C5                      D5         G5        G5      E5 
It's enough to make a grown man try to make it make some sense 
C5                              D5 
And wonder where we lost our innocence 
 
CHORUS: 
          G5                      C5             D5          G5        C5     D5 
Singin' come back Gene and Roy, back to the Saturday matinee 
          G5                  C5          D5                 G5        C5     D5 
Just like when I was a boy, deliver me from the bad old days 
             G5 
The bad old days 
 
 
C5   D5 
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: 
    C5            D5             G5 - G5   E5 
I'm back in the saddle, happy trails to you 
   C5                                D5 
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 
 
 
C5  D5 
 
         G5                              C5        D5                              
Singin' come back Gene and Roy (happy trails to you) 
 G5                          C5             D5 
Come back Gene and Roy (I'm back in the saddle) 
         G5                              C5        D5 
Singin' come back Gene and Roy (Happy trails to you) 
 G5                          C5            D5 
Come back Gene and Roy (I'm back in the saddle again) 
 
 
G5  C5  D5    (repeat out)
