Gene Autry My Hero(Chords)

	        
Intro: A Em A D A D 

verse 1 

    D                                 D7     G       Em 
The childhood memories I treasure the most I suppose 
         A                   A7           A              D     
were the Saturday afternoons spent at the town's picture show 
A   D             A           D                          G     Em 
I'd work all day long in the fields but at night I would dream 
A                 Em        A                    D      A D A 
That I'd see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen 
D        A             D         A       G    Em 
Saturday mornings I'd walk five miles or more 
     A             Em             A                       D   A D 
and twelve O'clock noon found me first one in line at the door 
A  D               A        D      A             G    Em 
I worked all week long but today I fulfilled my dream 
                          A                     D     D7 
and I'd see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen 


    G                                        D  A D 
The man in the white cowboy hat is a hero to me 
A   D          A      D              Em          A 
He was and he is now and I guess he always will be 
D          A          D            A            G     Em 
Time takes away many things but it can't take a dream 
A                                             D 
And I see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen

verse 2 

D                                                G   Em 
Oft as a child from our home in the country I'd roam 
                   A                        Em         D   A D 
And my Daddy would scold me cause I'd never be around home 
A      D        A        D                                      G   Em 
Ah but Mom understood me cause she'd always smile when I use to say 
      A        Em          A                       D   A  D 
Gene Autry and I have been rounding up outlaws all day 

 

G                                            D  A D 
The man in the white cowboy hat is a hero to me 
A   D          A      D              Em         A 
He was and he is now and I guess he always will be 
D          A          D             A           G     Em 
Time takes away many things but it can't take a dream 
A                                             D 
And I see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen 
A                                             D      A  D 
And I see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen
