G C G
They sent us home to watch the show comin' on the little screen;
G C G
A man named ike was in the white house, big black limousine;
Em G Em G
There were many shows to follow, from 'hooter' to 'Dootyville
C D
Though I saw them all, I can't recall which cartoon was real.
G C G
The coon-skin caps, yankee bats, the "hound dog" man's big start;
G C G
The a-bomb fears, annette had ears, I lusted in my heart.
Em G Em G
A young man from boston set sail the new frontier,
C
And we watched the dream dead-end in dallas,

They buried innocence that year.

I know it's true, oh so true, 'cause I saw it on tv.

G C G
We gathered round to hear the sound comin' on the little screen,
G C G
The grief had passed, the old men laughed, and all the girls screamed
Em G Em G
'cause four guys from england took us all by the hand,
C D
It was time to laugh, time to sing, time to join the band.
G C G
But all too soon, we hit the moon, and covered up the sky;
G C G
They built their bombs, and aimed their guns, and still I don't know why
Em G Em G
The dominoes tumbled and big business roared;
C D
Every night at six, they showed the pictures and counted up the score.
C G D Em C D7 G
I know it's true, oh so true, 'cause I saw it on tv.
[Verse 3]
G C G
The old man rocks among his dreams, a prisoner of the porch;
G
"the light," he says "at the end of the tunnel,
C G
Was nothin' but a burglar's torch.
Em G Em G
And them that was caught in the cover are all rich and free,
C
But they chained my mind to an endless tomb
D
When they took my only son from me.
C G D Em C D7 G
I know it's true, oh so true, 'cause I saw it on tv.
C G D Em C D7 G
I know it's true, oh so true, 'cause I saw it on tv.
