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

[C]Lay down my [G]sixpence and [D]mosey on [G]in.
[D]I'd sit in the front row with the [C]other young [G]cowboys
[D]Waitin' for Roy to [C]appear on the [G]screen
[D]Waitin' for Roy and his [C]golden horse [G]Trigger,
To [C]carry me [G]off into [D]my favorite [G]dream.
Chorus:
[G]Roy Rogers, Roy Rogers, Oh [C]you were my [G]hero,
A [C]man made of [G]steel on a [C]horse made of [D]gold
[G]Together we rode through the [C]days of my [G]childhood
[C]Memories like [G]heroes, they [D]never grow [G]old.
[G]Together we rode over [C]mountains and [G]valleys
[C]Camped out a [G]night 'neath the [C]wide prairie [D]sky,
[G]We'd sing cowboy songs as we [C]sat by the [G]campfire
[C]While out in the [G]darkness a [D]wild coyote [G]cried
[D]Yi-pi-tie-yi-yo [C]baked beans and [G]coffee,
[D]Tall tales and true as we [C]sat by the [G]fire
[D]Then up in the morning and [C]away we'd go [G]riding.
[C]Two gay caba[G]lleros, two [D]heroes for [G]hire.
[G]And now I'm a man, and I've [C]hung up my [G]six-gun
[C]No more do I [G]ride on a [C]horse made of [D]tin.
[G]Now I ride subways, and [C]freeways and [G]railways,
[C]Instead of a [G]six-gun I [D]now wield a [G]pen.
[D]But part of my heart will [C]always be [G]ridin'
[D]Along the bright canyons and the [C]wild forest [G]ways
[D]Along with Roy Rogers my [C]faithful [G]companion,
[C]Into the [G]sunset of [D]my childhood [G]days.

[C]Memories like [G]heroes, they [D]never grow [G]old.
[G]He was my friend, yes, [C]he was my friend.
[D]He never let me [G]down.
He was [G]honest and faithful right [C]up to the end
[D]I loved Roy Rogers 'cause [C]he was my [G]friend.
