IF TEARDROPS WERE PENNIES
Recorded by Carl Smith
Written by C. Butler

CHORUS: [C] If teardrops were pennies and [F] heartaches were [C] gold,
I'd have all the treasures my pockets would [G7] hold.
I'd [C] be, oh, so wealthy with [F] treasures un- [C] told,
If teardrops were pennies and [G7] heartaches were [C] gold.

[C] An acre of diamonds I'd [F] offer to [C] you,
A solid gold mansion, an airplane or [G7] two.
This [C] world would be yours to [F] have and to [C] hold,
If teardrops were pennies and [G7] heartaches were [C] gold.

The tears that have fallen won't buy you a thing.
The heartache you caused me won't pay for a ring.
The love that I wanted would not have grown cold,
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold.
