I'd Rather Fall In Love With You
Recorded by Charly McClain
Written by Jerry Hayes

C                     Am
I love the things you are
      Em                  F
And I love the things you do
C                     G7                   C
And you know that I'm falling in love with you
 

Well my daddy used to tell me
       F                Dm
Not to hang around down here
      C               G7            C
Don't grow accustomed to a cowboy’s life
 

He told me of the danger and 
       F                Dm
And he told me quite sincere
  C              G7            C
I wasn't born to be a cowboy’s wife
 
   F                Em             Dm
He told me I'd find someone out of town
          C
Or out of school  
    F           Em      Dm   G7
Somebody with a love so true
 
      C                   Am
But I love the things you are
      Em                  F
And I love the things you do
        C               G7                C
And you know I'd rather fall in love with you
 
F                 G7     Em               Am
Fall in love with you oh what's a girl to do
             D7                             G7
You know I'd like to do what daddy wants me to

      C                   Am
But I know the things you are
      Em                  F
And I love the things you do
        C               G7                C
And you know I'd rather fall in love with you
 
                             F         Dm
Now whether it's a rodeo way out in Omaha
        C         G7           C
Or some ol' honky tonk in Tennessee 
                              F               Dm
I'd rather be beside you even hiding from the law
     C             G7           C
Just hang around until you need me

                  Em
Now I could go on searching 
       Dm               C
And be searching in the sea
F                Em          Dm  G7
Someone made our dreams come true

      C                   Am
But I love the things you are
      Em                  F
And I love the things you do
        C               G7                C
And you know I'd rather fall in love with you
 
F                 G7     Em               Am
Fall in love with you oh what's a girl to do
             D7                             G7
You know I'd like to do what daddy wants me to
 
      C                   Am
But I love the things you are
      Em                  F
And I love the things you do
        C               G7                C
And you know I'd rather fall in love with you
