D x x
I can chop wood from dusk till dawn
D x x
I can swing a hammer till the daylight's gone
D x x
I can build a barn I can make a home with these two hands
F Dm7 G D
But if I didn't have all your love I'd be half a man
D x x
I can fly plane up in the big blue sky
D x x
Blaze a trail through the woods in my four-wheel drive
D x
With a team of horses or an old John Deere I can plow this land
F Dm7 G D
But if I didn't have all your love I'd be half a man
CHORUS:
G F
I can hang the stars I can rope the moon
F D
Walk across Texas in these cowboy boots
G F
I can run a train when it runs outta track
F D
With the weight of the world laid across my back
D G F
But my life still wouldn't be worth a damn
F Dm7 G D
If I didn't have all your love I'd be half a man
ENDING:
I'd be half a man
D x x
I could build a fire usin' nothin' but a stick
D x x
If I put my mind to it there ain't much I can't fix
D x x
I can read and count I can figure things out if you'd give me a chance
F Dm7 G D
But if I didn't have all your love I'd be half a man
chorus, chorus with ending.
