[Intro]
Bb Gm Eb F Bb
[Verse 1]
Eb Bb
Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro
F Bb
Back in the saddle again
Bb Eb
My little boy said, "Daddy, who's Gene Autry?"
F Bb
His old movie was comin' on TV
Eb
And I said, "Let me tell you about him, son"
F Bb
And I took him upon my knee
Eb
"Why, when I was a little boy about your size
F Bb
And just about every Saturday night
Eb
When I could scrape up a dime for the movies
F Bb
And when my Daddy said alright"
Eb
"I'd be right downtown at the picture show
F Bb
Like everybody else that could
Bb
To see a handsome man
Eb F Bb
On a big fine stallion goin' about, doin' good"
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
Singin', "Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro
F
Put him back in the saddle again
Eb Bb
Whoopi tai ai yeh, let him go on his way
F Bb
Back in the saddle again"
[Verse 2]
Bb Eb
"Well, he could ride his horse and play his guitar
F Bb
And sing all at the same time
Eb
And I was ridin' right along there beside him
F Bb
On that broomstick pony of mine"
Bb Eb
"And you know his pistol never ran out of bullets
F Bb
When the bad guys had to be stopped
Eb
And somehow his bullets never drew any blood
F Bb
But the bad guys dropped when he shot"
Eb
"Yeah, old Gene was an image of justice
F Bb
And goodness and purity
Eb
And in the eyes of a poor, little country boy
F Bb
He made the world look better to me"
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
Singin', "Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro
F
Put him back in the saddle again
Eb Bb
Whoopi tai ai yeh, let him go on his way
F Bb
Back in the saddle again"
[Verse 3]
Bb Eb
"And you know the way he rescued the rancher's daughter
F Bb
He'd sent a thrill right up the aisle
Eb
And the endin' would always send us home
F Bb
With a good victorious smile"
Bb Eb
"Now you ask me, 'Who's Gene Autry?'
F Bb
Well, son, go ahead and watch the show
Eb
And then ride off into the sunset with him
F Bb
Like I did forty years ago"
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
Singin', "Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro
F
Put him back in the saddle again
Eb Bb
Whoopi tai ai yeh, let him go on his way
F Bb
Back in the saddle again"
