Capo 1st Fret (to match original recording)

Intro: (A5) (A5) (A5) (A5)

(A5) A pretty girl a desert island
If we were shipwrecked and she were smiling
(E5) What would I do, would I still be (D5) true to you
(A5) A million bucks a big ol' mansion
A millionaire said I could have 'em
(E5) If I'd give you up, well honey he'd be (B5) out of (E) luck

 Cause even if I (D) tried even if I wanted to
 Even if my life depended on telling you
 Good(A)bye I couldn't say the word
 Cause you're (A) mine and honey I'm forever yours
 I (B) couldn't get the knot un(E)tied (n.c.) even if I (A5) tried

(A5) (A5)

(A5) You've got a smile it's captivating
And loving arms there's no escaping
And (E5) when they're holding me, I'm right where I'm sup(D5)posed to be
(A5) Dynamite and wild horses
All of mother nature's forces
(E5) Honey bring 'em on the hold you've got on me is (B5) twice as str(E)ong

 Cause even if I (D) tried even if I wanted to
 Even if my life depended on telling you
 Good(A)bye I couldn't say the word
 Cause you're (A) mine and honey I'm forever yours
 I (B) couldn't get the knot un(E)tied (n.c.) even if I (D) tried

Solo: (D) (A) (D) (A) (E) 

 Cause even if I (D) tried even if I wanted to
 Even if my life depended on telling you
 Good(A)bye I couldn't say the word
 Cause you're (A) mine and honey I'm forever yours
 I (B) couldn't get the knot un(E)tied (n.c.) even if I (A5) tried
