I SAW IT ON TV – JOHN FOGERTY
G They sent us home to watch the show
Comin' C on the little G screen
A man named Ike was in the White House
C Big black limou G sine
Em There were many shows to G follow
From Em Hooter to Doodyville
Though I C saw them all, I can't recall
D Which cartoon was real
G The coonskin caps, Yankee bats
The C Hound Dog man's big G start
The A-bomb fears, Annette had ears
C I lusted in my G heart
Em A young man from G Boston
Set Em sail the new frontier
And we C watched the dream dead-end in Dallas
They D buried innocence that year
C I know it's G true F, oh so Em true
C'Cause I D7 saw it on G TV
G We gathered 'round to hear the sound
Comin' C on the little G screen
The grief had passed, the old men laughed
C And all the girls G screamed
Em'Cause 4 guys from G England
Took us Em all by the hand
It was C time to laugh, time to sing
D Time to join the band
G But all too soon, we hit the moon
CAnd covered up the G sky
They built their bombs and aimed their guns
C And still I don't know G why
Em The dominoes G tumbled
And big Em business roared
Every C night at 6, they showed the pictures
And D counted up the score
C I know it's G true F, oh so Em true
C'Cause I D7 saw it on G TV
G The old man rocks among his dreams
A C prisoner of the G porch
The light, he said, at the end of the tunnel
Was C nothin' but a burglar's G torch
And Em them that was caught in the G cover
Are all Em rich and free
But C they chained my mind to an endless tomb
When D they took my only son from me
C I know it's G true F, oh so Em true
C'Cause I D7 saw it on G TV
C I know it's G true F, oh so Em true
C'Cause I D7 saw it on G TV
