[Verse 1]


G                     C
I remember the Alamo, I don't recall who won
G                                 C
They had swords, they had horses, I heard we had mighty guns
G                                         C
Like the ones from Navarone last night on Channel 21
D                       C
It's a long way back to El Paso


[Verse 2]


G                                  C
It was early Monday morning in the Central Standard Zone
G                           C
You were quiet like the TV, hung up like the telephone
G                                        C
You were sleeping next to me, I might as well have been alone
D                       C
It's a long way back to El Paso


[Chorus]


G                     D
And if my heart was a car
Am                                     Em
You would have stripped it a long time ago
G                     D
And if my heart was a car
Am                                     Em
You would have stripped it a long time ago.
G                     D
And if my heart was a car
Am
You would have stripped it down and sold it off
Am
To the greasy man in the salvage lot
Am
As it is it's just a heart
D             C
No, no, it ain't worth nothin'

[Verse 3]


G                               C   
I ain't talkin' 'bout tomorrow, I'm talkin' 'bout tonight
G                                   C
You told me you were drunk already, that don't make it right
G                                            C
You want at me, well, have at it, 'cause I'm in the mood to fight
D                           C
And it's a long way back to El Paso


[Chorus]


G                     D
And if my heart was a car
Am                                     Em
You would have stripped it a long time ago
G                     D
And if my heart was a car
Am                                     Em
You would have stripped it a long time ago
G                     D
And if my heart was a car
Am                                     Em
You would have stripped it a long time ago
G                     D
And if my heart was a car
Am                                     Em
You would have stripped it a long time ago
G                     D
And if my heart was a, and if my heart was a
Am                    Em
And if my heart was a car
G                     D
And if my heart was a, and if my heart was a
Am                    Em
And if my heart was a car
G                     D
And if my heart was a car
Am
You would have stripped it down and sold it off
Am
To the greasy man in the salvage lot
Am
As it is it's just a heart
D                      C          
No, no, it ain't worth nothin'
