Subject: "If Love Was A River" by Alan Jackson (correct format!)

Alan Jackson:     If Love Was A River            (Original Key: E)

Intro: E B E B E

                 E                           B                  
1. If love was a river, and I was a drowning man
                        E                          A
  Would you get in the water, would you lend me a hand?
                 E    B                      E
  If love was a river, would you sit on the land?

                 E                         B
2. If love was a mountain, high above this town
                          E                         A
  Would you climb to the top, would you never look down?
                 E       B                E
  If love was a mountain, would you go around?

        A             E            B               E
Bridge: Love me only knock so many times upon your door
             A           E                 C#m      B
       And heaven only knows if it'll come back anymore.

                 E                        B
3. If love was a firefly, sitting in your hand.
                            E                   A
  Would you laugh when it twinkles, let it go again?
                 E      B                 E
  If love was a firefly, would you understand?

4. If love was a party, with everyone you know.
                          E                               A
  Would you dance if i'd ask you, would you smile and say no?
                 E    B                E
  If love was a party, would you even go?

              A             E            B                E
Bridge 2: And love me only knock so many times upon your door.
              A            E                 C#m      B
         And heaven only knows if it'll come back anymore.

                 E                        B      
5. If love was a fast train, on a oneway track.
                          E                            A
  Would you turn in your ticket, would you never look back?
                 E         B                E
  If love was a fast train, would you even pack?
