verse 1 

  C7                  G6 
I wish I had a horse, a big white flashy horse 
    C7                                         G6 
I wouldn’t be the kind of guy that I appear to be 
              C7 
Well, I’d be different, I’d be better 
G6           E7 
A hero right down to the letter 
     A6                                  D7 
And all them pretty women would be after me 


[Refrão]
 D7       C#7  C7 
Cause I’d be Tom Mix, be the Lone Ranger 
       G6 
I’d be John Wayne, I’d be the Tall Dark Stranger 
        C7                                       G6 
I could ride in to danger, cause I’d be brave of course 
C7 
People would look up to me 
             G6                        E7 
Cause I’d be somethin’ that they could aspire to be 
             A7               D7              G6 
And it would all be possible, if I just had a horse 


verse 2 

    C7              G6      
And if I had a hat, a ten gallon Stetson hat 
        C7                                     G6 
I would look so sharp, all my friends would be amazed 
              C7 
Cause I could tip it to the ladies 
G6             E7 
My nose would always be shady 
    A6                                         D7 
And underneath the brim I’d have a Gary Cooper gaze 


[Refrão]
           C7 
And I’d be Tom Mix, I’d be the Lone Ranger 
       G6 
I’d be Lash LaRue, I’d be the Tall Dark Stranger 
        C7                                          G6 
I could save any widow’s ranch, ‘bout eight seconds flat 
C7 
People would look up to me 
             G6                   E7 
Cause I’d be somethin’ they could aspire to be 
               A6               D7              G6 
And this would all be possible, if I just had a hat 


turn around 

  C7 
Clothes and trappins’ don’t make a man 
                  G6 
I know that’s the way it’s always gonna to be 
     C7 
But they can bring out the hero in side 
         A6                     D7 
But then that’s good enough for me 


verse 3 

    C7                   G6 
But if I had some boots, they’d go so well with my buckskin suit 
        C7                                     G6 
I could walk in places I’d never ever dared to go 
        C7 
With my firm and manly stride 
G6                        E7 
Mean guys would just step aside 
    A6                                   D7 
And I’d be admired by folks I don’t even know 


[Refrão]
           C7 
And I’d be Gene Autry, I’d be Roy Rogers 
G6 
I’d have a side kick who’s an old codger 
        C7                                         G6 
I could chase down robbers and I could recover the loot 
C7 
People would look up to me 
             G6                        E7 
Cause I’d be somethin’ that they could aspire to be 
               A6               D7                 G6 
And this could all be possible, if I just had some boots 


final Chorus 

C7 
Cause I’d be Tom Mix, I’d be the Lone Ranger 
       G6 
I’d be John Wayne, I’d be the Tall Dark Stranger 
       C7                                       G6 
I could ride into danger, cause I’d be brave of course 
C7 
People would look up to me 
             G6                        E7 
Cause I’d be somethin’ that they could aspire to be 
             A6               D7              E7 
And it would all be possible, if I just had a horse 
         A6               D7              G6 
It would all be possible, if I just had a horse
