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

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

[Verse 3]
D               C                 D                  G
And if I were a drop of rain that trickled down your chin
   D                                            C                D            
I'd run right up and I’d kiss your lips and I‘d kiss them twice again

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

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

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

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