F                    C7 
Sometimes you dream, sometimes it seems 
 
C7              C     F/D C/E F  F/E 
There's nothing there at all 
 
    Dm                   Am 
You just seem older than yesterday 
 
           Bb                      C    C F/D C/E 
And you're waiting for tomorrow to call 
 
 
    F                       C7 
You draw to the curtain and one thing's for certain 
 
       C7           C      F/D  C/E F  C/E 
You're cozy in your little room 
 
    Dm                         Am 
The carpet's all paid for, God bless the TV 
 
      Bb                         C 
Let's go shoot a hole in the moon 
 
 
C F/D C/E F             Dm/F 
Whoa  And Roy Rogers is riding tonight 
 
  Bb                            F  F C/E F/D  
Returning to our silver screens 
 
C          C   F/D C/E  F 
Comic book charac- ters never grow old 
 
Bb                     G/B          C 
Evergreen heroes whose stories were told 
 
         Dm                    Am 
Oh the great sequin cowboy who sings of the plains 
 
   Bb                        G/B          C Dm/C C 
Of roundups and rustlers and home on the ra_______nge 
 
Dm                Am 
Turn on the T.V., shut out the lights 
 
    Bb        Bb F/A C/G F Bb/F  F   
Roy Rogers is riding to-ni_____ght 
 
F  F C/E F/D C  C7 
 
F                      C7 
Nine o'clock mornings, five o'clock evenings 
 
    C7        C    F/D C/E F  C/E 
I'd liven the pace if I could 
 
       Dm                       Am 
Oh I'd rather have a ham in my sandwich than cheese 
 
       Bb                       C7   C F/D  
But complaining wouldn't do any good 
 
 
C/E F                    C7 
Lay back in my armchair, close eyes and think clear 
 
C7         C   F/D   C/E F  C/E 
I can hear hoofbeats ahead 
 
Dm                   Am 
Roy and Trigger have just hit the hilltop 
 
          Bb                          C 
While the wife and the kids are in bed 
 
(Chorus)
