[G]
They sent us home to watch the show [C] coming on the little [G] screen.
A man named Mike was in the White [C] House, big black [G] limousine.
[Em] There were many shows to [G] follow [Em] from Hooter to Judyville.
[C] Though I saw them all, I can't recall [D] which cartoon was real.
[G] The Coonskin Cats, Yankee Bats, [C] the Hound Dog Man's [G] Big Start.
The A-bomb fears, Annette had ears, [C] I lusted in [G] my heart.
[Em] A young man [G] from Boston [Em] set sail the new frontier.
[C] And we watched the dream dead end in Dallas, they [D] buried innocents that year.
[C] I know [G] it's true,
[D] oh [Em] so [D] true, [C] [D] cause I saw it on [G] TV.
We gathered round to hear the sound [C] coming on the little [G] screen.
The creak had passed, the old men laughed, [C] and all the girls [G] screamed.
[Em] Cause four guys [G] from England [Em] took us all by the hand.
It [C] was time to laugh, time to sing,
[D] time to join the band.
[G] But all too soon we hit the moon [C] and covered up the [G] sky.
They built their bombs and aimed their guns, [C] and still I don't [G] know why.
[Em] The [G] dominoes tumbled [Em]
and big business roared.
[C] Every night at six they showed the pictures [D] and counted up the score.
[C] I know [G] it's true, [D] oh [Em] so true, [Bm]
[C] [D] cause I saw it on [G] TV.
The old man rocks among his dreams, [C] a prisoner of [G] the porch.
The light he says at the end of the tunnel [C]
was nothing but a [G] burglar's home.
[Em]
And them that [G] was caught in the cover [Em] are all rich and free.
But [C] they chained my mind to an endless tune, and [D] they took my only son from me.
[C] I know [G] it's true,
[D] oh [Em] so true, [G]
[C] [D] cause I saw it on [G] TV.
I
[C] [Em] know it's [G] true,
[D] oh [Em] so true, [Bm]
[C] cause I [D] saw it on [G] TV.
