IF I TOLD WHO IT WAS
INTRO: G
G D
I was down in music city 'bout a week ago
G
I wanted to see the grand old Opry show,
C G D
So I held a cab and I headed down to Opryland
G D
They said they sold their last ticked 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
My favorite female country star,
C Em
She waved her fans and headed for her car
C G D
Her tire, unlike her body, was very flat
G D C G
She said, could you change my tire 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
If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was
D G
You'd say I was making it up
D
You've seen her on the screen and in country magazines
G
You'd think I was making it up
D
She said it was our little secret and my gully,
G D
Oh I'm gonna keep it Anyway you wouldn't believe it
G
If I told you who it was
G D
She said you need a lift and I said well,
C
You can drop me of at the York motel,
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
She said, you're kind of cute fellar, wanna mess around?
D
When we got to my room just the people lied
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 C
Well if I was one of them country music folks
C G C D G
I'll tell you, she'd sure get my vote for the best performance of the year
CHORUS:
G
If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was
D G
You'd say I was making it up
D
You've seen her on the screen and in country magazines
G
You'd think I was making it up
D
She said it was our little secret and my gully,
G D
Oh I'm gonna keep it Anyway you wouldn't believe it
G
If I told you who it was
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 in the side and said:
G E
"Howdy I'm just so proud to be here!"
CHORUS:
G
If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was
D G
You'd say I was making it up
D
You've seen her on the screen and in country magazines
G
You'd think I was making it up
D
She said it was our little secret and my gully,
G D
Oh I'm gonna keep it Anyway you wouldn't believe it
G
If I told you who it was
