Note. Rex sings the 1st two verses and chorus in (Bb)
(C)When I was just a little boy
I (F)learned to call the (C)cows
>From Eddy Arnold singing strong
A-(D)bout the Cattle (G7)Call
And I'll (C)never forget the Pioneer's singing
(F)'See Them Tumbling Down'
Well, I think it's time that (C)we put Western
(G7)Back in the Country (C)sound.
Ev'ry time that I hear Rex
Sing about his 'Arizona Sky'
Or Roy and Dale's; Happy Trails
They always bring a sigh!
My throat gets tight then the tears come
See them tumbling down
But, I think it's time that we put Western
Back in the Country sound.
Hear those (F)pi-(E)i-on(F)eers
Singing 'bout cool, clear (C)water
While they're (G7)headin' for the last (C)roundup ...
Yes, I (F)think it's time that (C)we put Western
(G7)Back in the Country (C)sound.
Oh, how I wish that I could be
'Back In The Saddle' with Gene
But days like that I live again
Only in my dreams
And when I hear Tex sing 'High Noon'
My heart comes tumbling down
Well, I think it's time that we put Western
Back in the Country sound.
Refrain:
TAG: Yod-el la- ee-ee.
