C                              F                   C
When I was just a little boy I learned to call the cows
                                  D               G7
From Eddy Arnold singing strong a-bout the Cattle Call
         C                                  F
And I'll never forget the Pioneers singing "See them tumbling down"
                             C              G7                  C
Well, I think it's time that we put Western back in the Country sound

[Verse 2]
C                               F                  C
Ev'ry time that I hear Rex sing about his 'Arizona Sky'
                                       D              G7
Or Roy and Dale's "Happy Trails", they always bring a sigh!
   C                                          F
My throat gets tight then the tears come "See them tumbling down"
                            C              G7                  C
But, I think it's time that we put Western back in the Country sound.

[Refrain]
                   F  E  F
Can you hear those pi-io-neers
                          C
Singing 'bout cool, clear water
              G7                   C
While they're headin' for the last roundup.

[Verse 3]

C                           F                            C
Oh, how I wish that I could be "Back In The Saddle" with Gene
                                     D     G7
But days like that I live again only in my dreams
    C                                   F
And when I hear Tex sing 'High Noon' my heart comes tumbling down
                             C              G7                  C
Well, I think it's time that we put Western back in the Country sound.

[Refrain]
                   F  E  F
Can you hear those pi-io-neers
                          C
Singing 'bout cool, clear water
              G7                   C
While they're headin' for the last roundup.
       F                    C
Yes, I think it's time that we put Western
G7                  C
Back in the Country sound.
