Carl Smith - If Teardrops Were Pennies Chords

If Teardrops Were Pennies
Carl Smith

(E)                     (A)     (E)
An acre of diamonds I'd offer to you                   
                                    (B7)
A solid gold mansion, an airplane or two
(D)                               (A)          (E)
This whole world would be yours to have and to hold
                               (B7)           (E)
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold


                     Chorus
                               (A)            (E)
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
                                         (B7)
I'd have all the riches my pockets would hold
    (E)                    (A)        (E)
I'd be oh so wealthy with treasures untold
                               (B7)           (E)
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold.

 

The tears that have fallen won磘 buy you a thing
The heartaches you caused me won't pay for a ring
The love that I wanted would not have grown cold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold.

                   Repeat chorus

But teardrops aren't pennies
And heartaches aren't gold
