If Heartaches Were Horses
George Strait

Am7         C
Been in the saddle
          F        C   Am7
Since the sun came up
            G6
Roundin` up stray`s in
          F          G    C Em Am7
This ole` West Texas dust
      Am7              C
She`s been packin` her things
        F          C
Since I put coffee on
   Am        G         C
By sundown   she`ll be gone

Am             C
Damn this ole` girth
F             C
Worn right in two
      Am                Em
But a spare length   of leather
    Dm7          G   C Em
And I`ll make it do
Am          C
Just when I think I`ve
    Fmaj7       C
Got life by the reins
Am7              G6
Home ain`t sweet home
       C     Em
On the range


   Am              C
If heartaches were horses
    F               C
And hard times were cattle
    Am              G6
I`d ride home    at sunset
        F6          C      Em
Sittin` tall in the saddle
   Am                 Em
If heartaches    were horses
    F               C
And hard times were cattle


    Bb
And she`d say she loved me
         F
And this cowboy way of life
      G#
She`d be right beside me
        Am7         G
When we rode home tonight


   Am              C
If heartaches were horses
    F               C
And hard times were cattle
    Am7          Em
I`d ride home at sunset
C       F           C
Sittin` tall in the saddle
   Am7             Em
If heartaches were horses
    F    Em    F    C
And hard times were cattle
