Id Rather Have You

    A              D  A    
I'd rather go to a rodeo then 
   A           E     A
shoppin' on Rodeo Drive
A                     D          
I'd rather lay on the grass with 
A                 E              
you and watch the planes than to 
        A
have to fly
    D
I'd rather have you than Ringling 
and Barnum & Baily Circus with all 
three rings
        D
And the high trapeez and the lady on
 the horse and the train that 
carries them thru
A                                 
Stacked up against all the gold in
         E               A
 Africa, I'd rather have you
A                     D        A
I'd rather share a hotdog with 
                        E    A
you than dinner with the President
                       D        A 
Offer me a castle on a mountain 
             E        A
top, I'll take you in a tent
D
I'd rather be alone with you than to
 have my very own satellite
   D
To talk and sing and say everything 
to everybody, do whatever I wanna do

       A                           
And to be number one on Who Is Who,
 E               A
 I'd rather have you

[Chorus]
D                                 
I don't crave applause and praise 
   A
or holidays with my way paid
D                                  
I don't want to incorporate nor to 
A
be top rate nor a head of state
D                                 
I don't want to play the digery-do
         A
 nor the sitar or the kazoo
                   D          A   
Just the two of us alone will do, 
E               A
I'd rather have you

[Verse]
    A                         
I'd rather have tickets to the 
 D           A                    
movies with you than the one that 
          E   A
wins the lottery
                   D          A   
Rather walk on the beach with you 
                    E        A
than to own all the ships at sea
    D
I'd rather have you than the QE2 and
 the Eiffel Tower, the Royal Jewels

And the Brooklyn Bridge, and the 
toll pay to go thru
    A                             
And throw in a Texas well or two, 
E               A
I'd rather have you

[Chorus]
D                                 
I don't crave applause and praise 
   A
or holidays with my way paid
D                                  
I don't want to incorporate nor to 
A
be top rate nor a head of state
D                                 
I don't want to play the digery-do
         A
 nor the sitar or the kazoo
                   D          A   
Just the two of us alone will do, 
E               A
I'd rather have you
