[Intro]
D G A D
[Verse 1]
D G D D
I know that cheating river runs by everybody's door
D G D A
And I might just fall in there anytime
A D G D D
Cause I'm the kind of man that makes decisions on his own
D G Em A
And I'd go with you if I were so inclined
D G D D
Let me tell you this if I fall in that cheating river
D D G
I'm looking for a genuine pearl
[Chorus]
G G G D
You'll be the one yes you'll be the one
D G A D
If I ever fall in love with a honky-tonk girl
[Instrumental]
D G A7 D
[Verse 2]
D G D D
True love never runs but one direction at a time
D G D A
And right now I'm in love with someone else
A D G D
But if I should ever lose the love I'm loving at this time
D G Em A
I know I'd never break it up myself
A D G G D D
And I won't make any promises so I won't have one to keep
D D D G
But I've seen some sudden changes in this world
[Chorus]
G G G D
You'll be the one yes you'll be the one
D G A D
If I ever fall in love with a honky-tonk girl
D G G D
You'll be the one oh you'll be the one
D G A7 D D
If I ever fall in love with a honky-tonk girl
