If I Told You Who It Was
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G D
I was down in music city 'bout a week ago
C G
I wanted to see the grand old Opry show
C G D
So I held a cap and I headed down to Opryland
G D
They said they sold their last ticket the day before
C G
So I kinda just hung around the backstage door
C G
And down the steps she came, men oh men
G D
My favourite female country star
C G
She waved her fans and headed for her car
C G D
Her tire, unlike her body, was very flat
G D
She said, could you change my tire
C G
I said your wish is my desire
C G
As she raised the lid, I grabbed her bomber jack
She said I sure do appreciate you're changing my tire
[Chorus]
G D
If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was
C G
You'd say I was making it up
D
You've seen her on the screen and in country magazines
C G
You'd think I was making it up
D C
She said it was our little secret and my gully
G
I'm gonna keep it
D
Anyway you wouldn't believe it
C G
If I told you who it was
[Verse 2]
G D
She said you need a lift and I said well,
C G
You can drop me of at the York motel,
C G D
So we headed down Briley parkway in the town
G D
I told her I got all your records ma'am,
C G
She smiled and said well I be damned
C D G
Said, you're kind of cute fellar, wanna mess around? Hm!
D
When we got to my room just to be polite
C G
I said sure wish I could've heard you sing tonight
C G D
She smiled at me and said what do you wanna hear?
G D
Well if I was one of them country music folks
C G
I'll tell you, she'd sure get my vote
C D G
For the best performance of the year
[Chorus]
G D
If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was
C G
You'd say I was making it up
D
You've seen her on the screen and in country magazines
C G
You'd think I was making it up
D C
She said it was our little secret and my gully
G
I'm gonna keep it
D
Anyway you wouldn't believe it
C G
If I told you who it was
[Bridge]
G
Well I tell you this much
When I put my arms around her and squeezed her real tight
She looked up at me with those big beautiful eyes
Took a deep breath and a sigh and said:
N.C.
"Howdy I'm just so proud to be here!"
[Chorus]
G D
If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was
C G
You'd say I was making it up
D
You've seen her on the screen and in country magazines
C G
You'd think I was making it up
D C
She said it was our little secret and my gully
G
I'm gonna keep it
D
Anyway you wouldn't believe it
C G
If I told you who it was
