Title: If I Were You
By: Gibson Brothers

From the Gibson Brothers album: Red Letter Day

ONLY 1 GUITAR:

Verse 1:
      C majorC
If I were you
     FF       G+G        C majorC
I would gladly loan to me a dollar or two
      G+G                     C majorC
So I could eat and maybe get just one good night of sleep

But I'm not
        C majorC
And I'm stranded like a castaway in this town
         FF         G+G         FF
And you seem so unwilling to help a fellow when he's down
      C majorC G+G
If I were you
        C majorC
That's what I'd do

EVERYONE FROM HERE:

Verse 2:
      C majorC
If I were you
      FF       G+G            C majorC
I wouldn't be out on the streets the whole night through
      G+G                       C majorC
I'd have a job, and a pretty wife that I could come home to

But I don't
    FF      G+G        C majorC
And I have twenty cents left to my name
       FF       G+G          FF
And your the only one left here, that I have to blame
      C majorC G+G
If I were you
        C majorC
That's what I'd do

Bridge:
       FF       G+G         C majorC
You see It´s not my way to take from you, the things I haven't earned
  FF        G+G         C majorC
I wish I could go back and heed, the lessons I have learned


Verse 3:

But I can´t
      FF        G+G       C majorC
So you'll gladly put your money in this sack
    FF          G+G      C majorC        FF
And yes sir, this things is loaded and I have the hammer back
      C majorC G+G
If I were you
        C majorC FF
That´s what I'd do
      C majorC G+G
If I were you
        C majorC
That´s what I'd do

The End:
