I'LL STEP ASIDE
by Ernest Tubb

[words and music by Johnny Bond]


I'll step a- [G] side for [G7] you if you don't [C] want me
I'll step a- [D] side for you if you don't [G] care
I'm not the one to [G7] cling to a broken [C] promise
I'll step a- [G] side for [D] someone else some- [G] where

I'll step a- [C] side for you if you don't [G] want me
I'll step a- [A] side for you and you a- [D] lone
And when I'm [G] gone, please [G7] promise you'll re- [C] member
That I was [G] once your [D] darlin' all your [G] own


{solo}


Before you go please answer this last question
As you gaze into my tear-dimmed eyes
Can it be true you never cared about me
And all those words I treasured were just lies

I'll step aside for you if you don't want me
I'll step aside for you and you alone
And when I'm gone please promise you'll remember
That I was once your darlin' all your own
