Verse 

A 
If I drove a truck 
D 
And I were a waitress 
    A 
And I ordered coffee 
                  E 
And I poured you some 
D                           A 
Then you'd stop by on your way sometimes later 

And if we arm-wrestled 

I'd say that you won 
           E                     D              A       E 
I need my baby, ride easy, ride high in the saddle all day 
                   D 
If your loving is good 
          E             A 
And your cooking ain't greasy 
                  D               E         A 
We'll chuck the chuck wagon and we'll ride away 
                     D 
If I were a winsome pale senorita 
    A                                  E 
And I a bull-fighter, way down in the sand 
           D                         A 
While the band kept on playing that Old Paso Doable 

Would you throw me a flower 
      E        A 
Would you take my hand' 
           E                     D              A        E 
I need my baby, ride easy, ride high in the saddle all day 
                    D 
If your loving is good 
          E              A 
And your cooking ain't greasy 
                  D                E         A 
We'll chuck the chuck wagon and we'll ride away 

Verse 

If I ran the country 
    D                   A                                              E 
I'd be your first lady and I'd pick up the white house while you were away 
   D                          A 
Waiting while you're passing time with world leaders 

Left alone together  
  E             A 
Alone we might lay 
           E                     D              A       E 
I need my baby, ride easy, ride high in the saddle all day 
                   D 
If your loving is good 
           E              A 
And your cooking ain't greasy 
                  D                E          A 
We'll chuck the chuck wagon and we'll ride away 
                   D 
If your loving is good 
           E              A 
And your cooking ain't greasy
