1. If you were a cowboy I would trail you,
   Ami                             F               C
   if you were a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor,
   Dmi                            G               C
   if you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore,
   
2. If you were a river I would swim you,
   if you were a house I would live in you all my days,
   if you were a preacher I’d begin to change my ways,
