I Saw It On Tv Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

G)

They sent us home to watch the show

CComin' on the liGttle screen

A man named Ike was in the White House

BCig black limousiGne

Em There were many shows to foGllow

>EmFrom Hooter to Doodyville

TChough I saw them all, I can't recall

WDhich cartoon was real

Verse 2

The coonskin caps, Yankee bats

The Hound Dog man's big start

The A-bomb fears, Annette had ears

I lusted in my heart

A young man from Boston

Set sail the new frontier

And we watched the dream dead-end in Dallas

They buried innocence that year

Chorus

CI know it's trGue, ohF so trueEm

C'Cause I saD7w it on TV G

Verse 3

We gathered 'round to hear the sound

Comin' on the little screen

The grief had passed, the old men laughed

And all the girls screamed

'Cause 4 guys from England

Took us all by the hand

It was time to laugh, time to sing

Time to join the band

Verse 4

But all too soon, we hit the moon

And covered up the sky

They built their bombs and aimed their guns

And still I don't know why

The dominoes tumbled

And big business roared

Every night at 6, they showed the pictures

And counted up the score

(chorus)

Verse 5

The old man rocks among his dreams

A prisoner of the porch

The light, he said, at the end of the tunnel

Was nothin' but a burglar's torch

And them that was caught in the cover

Are all rich and free

But they chained my mind to an endless tomb

When they took my only son from me
