Subject: If Love was a River: Allan Jackson

If Love was a River

(A) If love was a (D) river,
And I was a drowning (A) man,
Would you get in the (D) water?
Would you lend me a (G) hand?
If love was a (D) river,
(A) Would you sit on the (D) land?

If love was a (A) mountain,
High above this (D) town,
Would you climb to the (A) top?
Would you never look (D) down?
If love was a (G) mountain,
(A) Would you go (D) around?

Bridge:
(G) Love me only (D) knock so many
(A) Times upon your (D) door,
And (G) heaven only (D) knows if it'll
Come (A) back any (D) more,

If love was a (A) firefly,
Sitting in your (D) hand,
Would you laugh when it (A) twinkles?
Let it go a (D) gain?
If love was a (G) firefly,
(A) Would you under (D) stand?

If love was a (A) party,
With everyone you (D) know,
Would you dance if I'd (A) ask you?
Would you smile and say (D) no?
If love was a (G) party,
(A) Would you even (D) go?

Bridge:
(G) Love me only (D) knock so many
(A) Times upon your (D) door,
And (G) heaven only (D) knows if it'll
Come (A) back any (D) more,

If love was a (A) fast train,
On a one way (D) track,
Would you turn in your (A) ticket?
Would you never look (D) back?
If love was a (G) fast train,
(A) Would you even (D) pack?
