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
