John Fogerty - I saw it on tv

^GThey sent us home to watch the show ^Ccomin' on the little ^Gscreen; ^GA man named ike was in the white house, ^Cbig black limou^Gsine; ^EmThere were many shows to ^Gfollow, ^Emfrom 'hooter' to 'Dooty^Gville Though I ^Csaw them all, I can't recall ^Dwhich cartoon was real.

^GThe coon-skin caps, yankee bats, the "^Chound dog" man's big ^Gstart; ^GThe a-bomb fears, annette had ears, ^CI lusted in my ^Gheart. ^EmA young man from ^Gboston ^Emset sail the new ^Gfrontier, And we ^Cwatched the dream dead-end in dallas, They ^Dburied innocence that year.

^CI know it's ^Gtrue, ^Doh so ^Emtrue, '^Ccause I ^D7saw it on ^Gtv.

^GWe gathered round to hear the sound ^Ccomin' on the little ^Gscreen, ^GThe grief had passed, the old men laughed, ^Cand all the girls ^Gscreamed ^Em'cause four guys from ^Gengland ^Emtook us all by the ^Ghand, It was ^Ctime to laugh, time to sing, ^Dtime to join the band.

^GBut all too soon, we hit the moon, ^Cand covered up the ^Gsky; ^GThey built their bombs, and aimed their guns, ^Cand still I don't know ^Gwhy ^EmThe dominoes ^Gtumbled ^Emand big business ^Groared; Every ^Cnight at six, they showed the pictures and ^Dcounted up the score.

^CI know it's ^Gtrue, ^Doh so ^Emtrue, '^Ccause I ^D7saw it on ^Gtv.

^GThe old man rocks among his dreams, ^Ca prisoner of the ^Gporch; ^G"the light," he says "at the end of the tunnel, ^CWas nothin' but a burglar's ^Gtorch. ^EmAnd them that was caught in the ^Gcover ^Emare all rich and ^Gfree, But ^Cthey chained my mind to an endless tomb When ^Dthey took my only son from me.

^CI know it's ^Gtrue, ^Doh so ^Emtrue, '^Ccause I ^D7saw it on ^Gtv. ^CI know it's ^Gtrue, ^Doh so ^Emtrue, '^Ccause I ^D7saw it on ^Gtv.
