If I Told You Who It Was Recorded by Johnny Cash, Minnie Pearl Written by Bobby Braddock, Curly Putman Tab submitted by: Mykola Poberezhnyi Email: mykola.poberezhnyi@gmail.com Intro: G Verse 1: G D I was down in music city 'bout a week ago C G I wanted to see the grand old Opry show C G D So I held a cap and I headed down to Opryland G D They said they sold their last ticket the day before C G So I kinda just hung around the backstage door C G And down the steps she came, men oh men G D My favourite female country star C G She waved her fans and headed for her car C G D Her tire, unlike her body, was very flat G D She said, could you change my tire C G I said your wish is my desire C G As she raised the lid, I grabbed her bomber jack She said I sure do appreciate you're changing my tire
Chorus: G D If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was C G You'd say I was making it up D You've seen her on the screen and in country magazines C G You'd think I was making it up D C She said it was our little secret and my gully G I'm gonna keep it D Anyway you wouldn't believe it C G If I told you who it was Verse 2: G D She said you need a lift and I said well, C G You can drop me of at the York motel, C G D So we headed down Briley parkway in the town G D I told her I got all your records ma'am, C G She smiled and said well I be damned C D G She said, you're kind of cute fellar, wanna mess around? Hm! D When we got to my room just the people lied C G I said sure wish I could've heard you sing tonight C G D She smiled at me and said what do you wanna hear? G D Well if I was one of them country music folks C G I'll tell you, she'd sure get my vote C D G For the best performance of the year Chorus: G D If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was C G You'd say I was making it up D You've seen her on the screen and in country magazines C G You'd think I was making it up D C She said it was our little secret and my gully G I'm gonna keep it D Anyway you wouldn't believe it C G If I told you who it was Bridge: G Well I tell you this much When I put my arms around her and squeezed her real tight She looked up at me with those big beautiful eyes Took a deep breath and a sigh and said: N.C. "Howdy I'm just so proud to be here!" Chorus: G D If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was C G You'd say I was making it up D You've seen her on the screen and in country magazines C G You'd think I was making it up D C She said it was our little secret and my gully G I'm gonna keep it D Anyway you wouldn't believe it C G
