I Saw It On Tv Teclado

	  Intro: G 
 
They sent us home to watch the show 
       C             G 
Comin' on the little screen 
A man named Ike was in the White House 
C              G 
Big black limousine 
Em                         G 
  There were many shows to follow 
     Em 
>From Hooter to Doodyville 
         C 
Though I saw them all, I can't recall 
D 
Which 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: 
C            G     D      Em 
 I know it's true,  oh so true 
C         D7         G 
 'Cause I saw it on TV 
 
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 
 
(chorus twice) 
                                   (tempo slows)
