Just To Prove My Love For You
By David Allan Coe
G+G
I could walk across Kansas in a New York minute
C majorC G+G
Climb the Colorado mountains in the fall
Crawl through Arizona like a flatland lizard
A7A7 D MajorD
If I thought it’s do many any good at all
G+G
I could swim Lake Erie with my hands tied behind me
C majorC G+G
Eat a West Virginia coal miner’s shoe
C majorC G+G
Drink the Mississippi River if it took a month of Sundays
D MajorD G+G
Just to prove my love for you
Chorus:
C majorC G+G
I remember well the first time that I kissed you
D MajorD G+G
Cause things ain’t been the same ever since
C majorC G+G
Got me thinking’ I could eat a ten-penny nail
A7A7 D MajorD
And spit out a barbwire fence
G+G
Well there ain’t a livin’ creature gonna ever come between us
C majorC G+G
I’d fight lions, snakes and go-rillas, too
C majorC G+G
If that ain’t enough I’d start all over
D MajorD G+G
Just to prove my love for you
G+G
I would ride my pony through the eye of a hurricane
C majorC G+G
Climb Mt. Everest on a string
Jump Niagra Falls in a burnin’ barrel
A7A7 D MajorD
And bring you back a hoops full of rings
G+G
Wrassle alligators in the Okeefenokee
C majorC G+G
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
C majorC
If you’d just say the word, I’ll catch that great speckled bird
D MajorD G+G
And bring it back to you
