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

'Front Row Cowboy'
#Chorded by Shawn and Andrew Prest
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.

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.
