[Verse 1]
D           C          D        
If I were a featherbed in your 
        G
house so fine
   D                               
I'd hold you in my arms each night,
          C                 D
 keep you warm in the wintertime

[Verse 2]
    D                   C      
And if I were an old banjo, felt 
        D            G
your fingers on my strings
    D                            
I'd sing the sweetest little song 
        C               D
that a banjo e'er did sing

D               C                 
And if I were a drop of rain that 
D                  G
trickled down your chin
   D                               
I'd run right up and I’d kiss your 
             C                D
lips and I‘d kiss them twice again

[Verse 4]
D               C                
And if I were a breath of wind on
       D                   G
 your cheeks as you walked by
         D                       
Well I'd pick you up upon my back 
          C               D
and I’d teach you how to fly

[Verse 5]
D           C                  D
If I were a hair ribbon and my 
            G
color it was blue
   D                               
I'd be ten times as beautiful, 
   C             D
cause I'd be wearing you

[Verse 6]
D               C                
And if I were a big wool rug just
   D                     G
 a sitting in your front hall
         D                         
Well I'd tickle your feet and make 
                 C                
you laugh if you stepped on me at 
D
all

[Verse 7]
D           C          D        
If I were a featherbed in your 
        G
house so fine
   D                               
I'd hold you in my arms each night,
          C                  D
 keep you warm in the wintertime
