   G                     C           G
On Saturday mornings I'd ride to the movies,
C          G             C             D 
Booted and spurred on my horse made of tin
G                 C              G
Tie-up my cyi-use outside on the pavement

C           G            D        G
Lay down my sixpence and mosey on in.
D                                 C           G
I'd sit in the front row with the other young cowboys
D                  C             G
Waitin' for Roy to appear on the screen
D                       C            G
Waitin' for Roy and his golden horse Trigger,
   C        G        D           G
To carry me off into my favorite dream.


Chorus:
G                          C           G
Roy Rogers, Roy Rogers, Oh you were my hero,
  C           G          C             D
A man made of steel on a horse made of gold
G                            C          G
Together we rode through the days of my childhood
C             G            D          G
Memories like heroes, they never grow old.


G                     C             G
Together we rode over mountains and valleys
C            G                C            D
Camped out a night 'neath the wide prairie sky,
G                            C          G           
We'd sing cowboy songs as we sat by the campfire
C                G          D           G
While out in the darkness a wild coyote cried
D               C               G
Yi-pi-tie-yi-yo baked beans and coffee,
D                         C          G
Tall tales and true as we sat by the fire
D                          C            G
Then up in the morning and away we'd go riding.
C           G           D          G
Two gay caballeros, two heroes for hire.


G                           C          G
And now I'm a man, and I've hung up my six-gun
C            G         C             D
No more do I ride on a horse made of tin.
G                       C            G
Now I ride subways, and freeways and railways,
C            G         D           G
Instead of a six-gun I now wield a pen.
D                         C         G
But part of my heart will always be ridin'
D                                C           G
Along the bright canyons and the wild forest ways
D                        C        G
Along with Roy Rogers my faithful companion,
C        G         D            G
Into the sunset of my childhood days.

Chorus:
    G                      C           G
Roy Rogers, Roy Rogers, Oh you were my hero,
  C           G          C             D
A man made of steel on a horse made of gold
G                            C          G
Together we rode through the days of my childhood
C             G            D          G
Memories like heroes, they never grow old.


G                      C         
He was my friend, yes, he was my friend.
D               G
He never let me down.
       G                         C         
He was honest and faithful right up to the end
D                         C         G
I loved Roy Rogers 'cause he was my friend.
