John Hartford - Gather Round The Tv Chords

Gather Round the TV
John Hartford

Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of A


Chorus:

     A                       D
Yes we would gather around the TV
                          A
All the young ones, you and me
                                    D
Seeing all the pretty people and pretty sights
                     E        A
On the tv set on a Saturday Night

We were going to the picture show,but we all stayed home
Mama and Pappa didn't want to stay alone
Popped up some popcorn, settled on the couch
Most all of the lights, we turned them out

Chorus 2:

Well we didn't need to go no-where
You'd have to get dressed and fix your hair
We call stay home, we got what we need
Warm living room and a colored TV

Chorus: 3

Well it ain't like a radio, it ain't like a book
It's got that sound, and its got that look
All these children, me and my wife
A-watching TV, on a Saturday Night.

Chorus: 4
