Verse 1
(C major) The year was 1907,
and the (F major) world would know his fame. (C major)
Marian Michael Morrison
was such a timid name (G major) for a (C major) child who
was destined for (F major) all the world to see. (C major)
John Wayne is the name of the
(G major) Duke to you and me. (C major)
He's a legend in his time,
what more (F major) is there to say? (C major)
He led the U .S. Navy,
many times he saved the day
(G major) The (C major) Duke's an institution,
a (F major) hero of our time
(C major) A man who loves his country,
he's (G major) your friend and he's mine (C major)
He's (G major) tall in the saddle,
he shoot (F major) s right from the hip (C major)
One (G major) -eyed rooster cockburn,
(F major) the hero of true grit
(C major) And (G major) don't forget the quiet man
or the (F major) clash of the green beret
(C major) John Wayne's a living legend
and he's (G major) still with us today (C major) (D major)
I remember the big trail
way back (G major) in 29
that's (D major) him up there on the silver
screen movies cost a dime
(A major) you (D major) cross the old Red River
and (G major) then the Alamo
(D major) and all those midnight movies
he made (A major) so long ago. (D major)
I remember all his sidekicks,
just (G major) to name a few. (D major)
Walter Brennan, Gabby Hayes,
California too. (A major)
And (D major) stagecoach was a classic,
(G major) a credit to his name. (D major)
When I think of heroes,
I think (A major) of you, John (D major) Wayne.
He's (A major) tall in the saddle,
he shoot (G major) s right from the hip (D major)
One (A major) -eyed rooster cockburn,
the hero (G major) of true grit
(D major) The (A major) only way we'd lose you
would be (G major) from a movie stage
(D major) Both your guns a -blazin'
in the (A major) shooter's masquer (D major) ade
He's (A major) tall in the saddle,
he shoot (G major) s right from the (D major) hip
One (A major) -eyed rooster, cod -burned,
the (G major) hero of true grit
(D major) The (A major) only way we'd lose you
would (G major) be from a movie stage (D major)
Both your guns a -blazin'
in the (A major) shooter's masquer (G major) ade
(D major) John Wayne America
