Bellamy Brothers - Come Back Gene And Roy Chords

Come Back Gene and Roy
written by David Bellamy


INTRO: G

G                              Cadd9          D
I turned on the news, then I wondered what for
G                                        Cadd9               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
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)
