GCG If three and four were seven only DG Where would that leave one and two CG If love can be and still be lonely DG Where does that leave me and you? CG Time there was, and time there will be DG Where does that leave me and you?
GCG If I had a buckskin stallion DG I'd tame him down and ride away CG If I had a flyin' schooner DG I'd sail into the light of day CG If I had your love forever DG Sail into the light of day
GCG Pretty songs and pretty places DG Places that I've never seen CG Pretty songs and pretty faces DG Tell me what their laughter means CG Some look like they'll cry forever DG Tell me what their laughter means
GCG If I had a buckskin stallion DG I'd tame him down and ride away CG If I had a golden galleon DG I'd sail into the light of day CG If I had your love forever DG Sail into the light of day
