If I Could

E                                 A
If I could make my living going fishing
              E                     B
Then I would make my living with a line and pole
     E
Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord
 A
Buy some working clothes
                E
Cause I ain't making money going fishing
          B             E
Like I'm paid at the factory

[Verse 2]
E                                        A
If I could pay all these bills with my guitar
              E                         B
Then I would pay these bills with some rock and roll
     E
Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord
 A
Buy some working clothes
                E
Cause I ain't making money playing guitar
          B             E
Like I'm paid at the factory

[Chorus]
          A
Now if I could (if I could)
         E
Then I would (then I would)
       F#
Make money doing something that I love
      B
I'd thank my lucky stars above

[Verse 3]
   E                           A
If I could just get by loving you dear
               E                  B
Then I would just get by making love to you
     E
Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord
  A
Buy some working clothes
                E
Cause I ain't making money making love
          B             E
Like I'm paid at the factory

Make money doing something that I love
      B
I'd thank my lucky stars above
