Chords for Elton John - Roy Rogers (Live at Wembley Empire Pool 1977)

_ _ _ _ _ I'm gonna do a few on my own, you see, before the band comes out and joins me.
This [F] is a song from the Elevate Road album about one of my _ _
_ _ [A] childhood heroes.
It's called [F] Roy Rogers.
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
Sometimes you dream, _ [C] sometimes it [F] seems
_ [C] There's nothing there at [F] all
_ _ _ [Dm] You just seem older [Am] than yesterday _ _
And [Bb] you're waiting for tomorrow to [Gm]
come
[C] _ _ [F] You drop to the curtains, [C] want things for certain
[F] _ [C]
You're cozy in your little room
[F] _ _
The _ [Dm] _ carpets all paid for, [Am] God bless the TV
[Bb] Let's go shoot a hole [C] in the moon
_ [D] Oh, _
[F] _ _ _ Rogers is [G] riding tonight
_ [Bb] Returning to our [F] silver screen
_ _ _ [D] _ [C] Comic book [F] characters never grow old
_ [G] Ever the reader heroes [Bb] whose stories were [C] told
[Dm] Oh, the great sequined cowboy [Am] who sings of the plains
[Bb] On frowned-ups and rustlers [G] and home of [C] the rage
[F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Dm] Don't all the TV [F] always shut out [Am] the light
[Bb] Roy Rogers [C] is riding [F] tonight
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] Nine o'clock mornings, [C]
five o'clock [F] evenings
[C] I'd liven the place if [F] I could
_ _ [C] [Dm] Oh, I'd rather have ham on my [Am] sandwich than cheese
[Bb] But complaining doesn't do [C] any good
_ Knocked [F] back in my armchair, [C] I close eyes and think [F] clear
[C]
I can hear who beats [F] their head _
_ _ [Dm] Roy and Trigger [Am] have just hit the hilltop
[Bb] While the wife and the kids are [C] in bed
_ [F] Oh, and Roy Rogers [G] is riding tonight
_ [Bb] Returning to our silver [F] screen
_ _ _ [C] Comic book _ [F] characters never grow _ [G] old
Ever the reader heroes whose [Bb] stories [C] were told
Oh, [Dm] the great sequined cowboy [Am] who sings of the plains
[Bb] On frowned-ups and rustlers [G] and home of the [C] _ [F] rage
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
Don't all the TV always [F] shut out the light
[Bb] Roy Rogers [C] is [F] riding tonight
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
