If I Had A Lover

[Chorus]
          Bb
Well, if I  had a lover,
                                    Csus4
couldn't keep it undercover and fall     for her like
Dm7   Csus4
leaves
        Bb
And if I  had a dollar,
                                 C
I'd save the whole holler and buy that girl a ring
           Bb                 F
Well, ever since I don't have any,
             Csus4           Dm7
I'm about as lonely as can be
        Bb                 F
But if I  had a lover and I had a dollar,
       Csus4             F
what a happy ol' boy I'd be

[Verse 1]
F
 That's all I want,
C          Bb                    F
 but I know  it's not meant to be
                                C
But I'm jealous how the wind is free
F                        C         Bb      F
 'Cause I'm all locked up in my own  misery
                    C      F
With nobody to blame but me

[Chorus]
          Bb
Well, if I  had a lover,
         F                          C             Dm
couldn't keep it undercover and fall for her like leaves
        Bb
And if I  had a dollar,
    F                            C
I'd save the whole holler and buy that girl a ring
           Bb                 F
Well, ever since I don't have any,
             C               Dm
I'm about as lonely as can be
        Bb                 F
But if I  had a lover and I had a dollar,
       C                 F
what a happy ol' boy I'd be

[Verse 2]
F              C
 And there's a girl,
            Bb           F
but she pays  no mind to me
Yeah,
something like the rocks beneath my feet
C F                C
   And I hear them say,
              Bb             F
I'm missin' a forest for the tree
                                C                       F
But I don't care when she's the prettiest tree I've seen

Well, if I  had a lover,

I'm about as lonely as can be

But if I  had a lover and I had a dollar,
       C                 F
what a happy ol' boy I'd be
