Sometimes you dream, sometimes it seems 
 
C7		C     F/D C/E F  F/E 
There's nothing there at all 
 
    Dm			 Am 
You just seem older than yesterday 
 
	   Bb			   C    C F/D C/E 
And you're waiting for tomorrow to call 
 
 
    F			    C7 
You draw to the curtain and one thing's for certain 
 
       C7	    C      F/D  C/E F  C/E 
You're cozy in your little room 
 
    Dm			       Am 
The carpet's all paid for, God bless the TV 
 
      Bb		         C 
Let's go shoot a hole in the moon

Whoa  And Roy Rogers is riding tonight 
 
  Bb				F  F C/E F/D  
Returning to our silver screens 
 
C	   C   F/D C/E  F 
Comic book charac- ters never grow old 
 
Bb		       G/B	    C 
Evergreen heroes whose stories were told 
 
	 Dm		       Am 
Oh the great sequin cowboy who sings of the plains 
 
   Bb			     G/B	  C Dm/C C 
Of roundups and rustlers and home on the ra_______nge 
 
Dm		  Am 
Turn on the T.V., shut out the lights

Nine o'clock mornings, five o'clock evenings 
 
    C7        C    F/D C/E F  C/E 
I'd liven the pace if I could 
 
       Dm			Am 
Oh I'd rather have a ham in my sandwich than cheese 
 
       Bb			C7   C F/D  
But complaining wouldn't do any good 
 
 
C/E F			 C7 
Lay back in my armchair, close eyes and think clear 
 
C7         C   F/D   C/E F  C/E 
I can hear hoofbeats ahead 
 
Dm		     Am 
Roy and Trigger have just hit the hilltop 
 
          Bb			      C 
While the wife and the kids are in bed 
 
(Chorus)
