Special Hello to Acepicker!  Here's a nice tune from George Straits' new album
"George Strait".

If You Can Do Anything Else                    George Strait

Capo 1st Fret
Intro [D][Bm][G][A] 2X

Would you [G] like to live in [D] Houston where the [A7] cowboys come to [D]
town
or [G] maybe Pensa-[D]-cola where the [A7] sun shines all year [D] round
or [G] even New York [Bm] City where the [G] city never [Bm] sleeps
I'm [A7] offering you the option before you get in too deep

     Chorus
     If you can do [D] anything else
     baby be [Bm] good to yourself
     you can [G] find a nice place, have a good life
     don't [A7] worry 'bout me I'm gonna be alright
     you can [D] make a new start
     you can [Bm] see yourself clear
     if you can do [G] anything else
     then [D] do it, but if you [A7] can't
     baby you can stay right [D] here

There's [G] work up in Se-[D]-attle if [A7] you don't mind the [D] rain
San Di-[G]-ego to Sa-[D]-vannah they'd [A7] all be glad you came
but [G] life with me would [Bm] always be a [G] roller coaster [Bm] ride
[A7] you won't hurt my feelings whatever you decide

Repeat Chorus

[A7] This place might look real good right now
but [G] lookin' good won't [Bm] last
but [A7] if you choose it anyhow
I'd [G] give you all I [A7] have

Repeat Chorus
