[Intro]
Bb Gm Eb F Bb

[Verse 1]
       Eb         Bb  
Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro
            F      Bb
Back in the saddle again
Bb                                          Eb
My little boy said, "Daddy, who's Gene Autry?"
                  F
His old movie was comin' on TV
    Bb                                     Eb
And I said, "Let me tell you about him, son"
                           F  Bb
And I took him upon my knee
                                         Eb
"Why, when I was a little boy about your size
F                             Bb
And just about every Saturday night
                                      Eb
When I could scr*pe up a dime for the movies
         F                    Bb
And when my Daddy said alright"
                              Eb
"I'd be right downtown at the picture show
          F                   Bb
Like everybody else that could
         Bb
To see a handsome man
     Eb                   F                   Bb
On a big fine stallion goin' about, doin' good"

[Chorus]
                 Eb         Bb
Singin', "Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro
                            F
Put him back in the saddle again
       Eb                  Bb
Whoopi tai ai yeh, let him go on his way
            F       Bb
Back in the saddle again"

[Verse 2]
Bb                       Eb
"Well, he could ride his horse and play his guitar
    F                    Bb
And sing all at the same time
                                     Eb
And I was ridin' right along there beside him
        F                      Bb
On that broomstick pony of mine"
         Bb                    Eb                 F
"And you know his pistol never ran out of bullets
                            Bb
When the bad guys had to be stopped
                              Eb
And somehow his bullets never drew any blood
        F                        Bb
But the bad guys dropped when he shot"
                       Eb 
"Yeah, old Gene was an image of justice
    F                  Bb
And goodness and purity
                                          Eb
And in the eyes of a poor, little country boy
            F                      Bb
He made the world look better to me"

[Chorus]
                 Eb         Bb
Singin', "Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro
                            F
Put him back in the saddle again
       Eb                  Bb
Whoopi tai ai yeh, let him go on his way
            F       Bb
Back in the saddle again"

[Verse 3]
     Bb                                        Eb
"And you know the way he rescued the rancher's daughter
     F                               Bb       
He'd sent a thrill right up the aisle
                            Eb
And the endin' would always send us home
       F               Bb
With a good victorious smile"
     Bb                      Eb
"Now you ask me, 'Who's Gene Autry?'
           F                      Bb
Well, son, go ahead and watch the show
                                  Eb
And then ride off into the sunset with him
       F                  Bb
Like I did forty years ago"

[Chorus]
                 Eb         Bb
Singin', "Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro
                            F
Put him back in the saddle again
       Eb                  Bb
Whoopi tai ai yeh, let him go on his way
            F       Bb
Back in the saddle again"
