The childhood memories I treasure the most I suppose
A A7 A D
were the Saturday afternoons spent at the town's picture show

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

Time takes away many things but it can't take a dream

Oft as a child from our home in the country I'd roam

And my Daddy would scold me cause I'd never be around home

Gene Autry and I have been rounding up outlaws all day

The man in the white cowboy hat is a hero to me
