Give Back My Heart chords by Lyle Lovett

Verse 1:


D
I'm a traveling man don't tie me down

             G
There's just too much living going all around

  E7                             A7
A man has got to see what he can see

  D
I love the road and I love the air

       G
And I don't worry, hell, I never care

   E7                                A7
I love my women, sometimes they love me


Verse 2:


         D
But I was got one day, I still don't know how

   G
I didn't even like that town

      E7                                            A7
This fellow said "Stranger why don't you just go on home?"

           D
And I said "Man that's where I'm headed to

        G
And you couldn't stop me if you knew what to do."

       E7                       A7
And I left and I planned to go alone


Verse 3:


        D
But the road was long and home was far

      G
So I stopped off at this little cowboy-looking bar

  E7                                       A7
I walked on through the door and she just smiled

     D
In a long pony tail and a pretty white dress

          G
She said "Hi,  bull riders do it best."

        E7
I said "Oh my God, what's your name?

           A7
My name's Lyle."


Chorus:


           D                G
And I said ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

E7                                 A7
Take your boots and walk out of my life

D                      G
Ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

E7             A7     D
I can't be no cowgirl paradise


Verse 4:


  D
I looked at her and she looked at me

      G
And I looked back and she looked back

    E7                          A7
And we went out together for a walk

    D
Her eyes were bright just like the stars

        G
But she drove a pickup said she hated cars

    E7                              A7
But loved to ride around out after dark


Chorus:


           D                G
And I said ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

E7                                 A7
Take your boots and walk out of my life

D                      G
Ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

E7             A7     D
I can't be no cowgirl paradise


Bridge:


           G                              D
I told her redneckness has got to be a disease

    E7                                    A7
You catch it on your fingers and it just crawls right up your sleeves

D                      G
Ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

E7             A7     D
I can't be no cowgirl paradise


Verse 5:


     D
Well how she did it I'll never know

         G
But it's been maybe 20 years or so

        E7                                     A7
And she cooks the supper and I try to pay the rent

           D
But I'm a traveling man don't tie me down

             G
There's just too much living go all around

    E7                                 A7
But I can't figure out quite where it went


Chorus:


           D                G
And I said ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

E7                                 A7
Take your boots and walk out of my life

D                      G
Ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

E7             A7     D
I can't be no cowgirl paradise
