D# A# Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro F A# Back in the saddle again A# D# My little boy said, "Daddy, who's Gene Autry?" F A# His old movie was comin' on TV D# And I said, "Let me tell you about him, son" F A# And I took him upon my knee D# "Why, when I was a little boy about your size F A# And just about every Saturday night D# When I could scrape up a dime for the movies F A# And when my Daddy said alright" D# "I'd be right downtown at the picture show F A# Like everybody else that could A# To see a handsome man D# F A# On a big fine stallion goin' about, doin' good" Chorus: D# A# Singin', "Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro F Put him back in the saddle again D# A# Whoopi tai ai yeh, let him go on his way F A# Back in the saddle again" Well, he could ride his horse and play his guitar And sing all at the same time And I was riding right along there beside him On that broomstick pony of mine And you know his pistol never ran out of bullets When the bad guys had to be stopped And somehow his bullets never drew any blood But the bad guys dropped when he shot Yeah, old Gene was an image of justice And goodness and purity And in the eyes of a poor, little country boy He made the world look better to me Chorus And you know the way He rescued the rancher's daughter He'd sent a thrill right up the aisle And the ending would always send us home With a good victorious smile Now you ask me, Who's Gene Autry Well, son, go ahead and watch the show And then ride off into the sunset with him Like I did forty years ago Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  D#  F  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
