I Miss John Wayne
Dan Roberts
There's A Little Bit of Cowboy In All Us- Album
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of E
E A E
I've been looking for something that's missing in our world
B
And I wonder if my search is all in vain
E A
Where's the good guys where's the bad guys
E
Where has law and justice gone
B E
Lord, how I miss John Wayne
E A E
All alone in the saddle with guns blazing in each hand
B
With true grit in his teeth he held the reins
E A A
He charged hard into battle where a lesser man, he woulda run
E B E
Lord, how I miss John Wayne
Chorus
A E
He never backed down from a job that he had to do
F#
And he could cross the line from talking
B7
with a clenched fist attitude
E A
He knew right was right and wrong was wrong
A
but today they seem the same
E B7 E
Oh Lord, how I miss John Wayne
A
Well I never thought I'd see the day
E
when his time has come and gone
B7
And now a man's man is looked upon with shame
E
What we're needin' in this world today,
A
is men with the guts to back up what they say
E B7 E
Lord, how I miss John Wayne
Repeat Chorus(Spoken):
Well, there've been a lot of cowboys who've come and gone
Men like Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Johnny Mack Brown,
Tex Ritter, Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys,
Jimmy Stewart, Bob Nolan, Cisco Kid,Tom Mix, Buck Jones,
old Walter Brennan, Bob Steel, Ray Reed, Bob Crosby,
Hopalong Cassidy,Gabby Hayes,Ben Johnson, course ol' Louie
Lamour,
They're all cowboy heroes, and in many ways they're the same.
But, Lord, How I miss John Wayne
