Sometimes you dream, sometimes it seems
C7 F/D C/E F C/E
There's nothing there at all
Dm Am
You just seem older than yesterday
Bb C F/D C/E
And you're waiting for tomorrow to call
You draw to the curtain and one thing's for certain
You're cozy in your little room
The carpet's all paid for, God bless the TV
Let's go shoot a hole in the moon
C F/D C/E F G7
Whoa And Roy Rogers is riding tonight
Bb F C/E F/D
Returning to our silver screens
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 GB C F/C C7
Of round ups and hustlers and home on the range
Dm Am
Turn on the T.V., shut out the lights
Bb Bb/C F Bb/F F
Roy Rogers is riding to-night
Nine o'clock mornings, five o'clock evenings
I'd liven the pace if I could
Oh I'd rather have a ham in my sandwich than cheese
But complaining wouldn't do any good
Lay back in my armchair, close eyes and think clear
I can hear hoofbeats ahead
Roy and Trigger have just hit the hilltop
While the wife and the kids are in bed
