Back In The Saddle Again Teclado

	  Tribute to Gene Autry, 1907-1998 
Well, my little Bucaroos and Buckarets, another of our white-hatted heros 
has left us to work at the feet of that big range-boss in the sky. Like Roy, 
Gene had influenced my moral upbringing in the days of the saturday movie 
matinee, before TV. Good always wins; Bad never prospers. I would like to 
believe that I carried the tenets he taught me as a youth through my adult life. 
 
With unashamed tears tricklin' down our cheeks, lets sing his theme song. 
 
BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN 
as sung by Gene Autry 
as remembered by Charles Allen,  
 
4/4 brightly (G) 
 
G               D       G    G7 
I'm back in the saddle again 
C                       G      G7 
Out where a friend is a friend 
         C               Cdim 
Where we sleep out every night 
               G       Em 
Where the only law is "right" 
    A           D      G 
I'm back in the saddle again 
 
G          D          G    G7 
Riding the range once more 
C         Cdim G  G7 
Totin' my old '44 
          C                  Cdim 
Where the long-horned cattle feed 
       G             Em 
On the lonely jipson weed 
    A           D      G     G7 
I'm back in the saddle again 
 
C 
Whoopy-ti-yi-yo 
G 
Rocking to and fro' 
                       D     D7 
I'm back in the saddle again 
 
C            Cdim 
Whoopy-ti-yi-ya 
     G        Em 
I'll be on my way 
    A           D      G 
I'm back in the saddle again. 
 
 
note 1: as a youngster I learned this song with just a simple two-string 
"G", and "C" and "D". Ah, those memories. 
 
note 2: Cdim ?
