[Porter]
C                       F        C
An acre of diamonds I'd offer to you
                                    G   G7
A solid gold mansion an airplane or two

[Dolly]
     C                             F           C
This whole world would be yours to have and to hold
                              G               C
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

[Chorus]
C                       C7       F               C
If teardrops were penn- -ies and heartaches were gold
                                         G    G7
I'd have all the riches my pockets would hold
    C                 C7       F             C
I'd be, oh, so wealt- -hy with treasures un- told
  C                             G               C
* If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

[Carl]
C                                F         C
The tears that have fallen won't buy you a thing
                                            G    G7
The heartache you caused me won't pay for a ring

[Dolly]
    C                        F              C
The love that I wanted would not have grown cold
                              G               C
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

[Chorus]
C                       C7       F               C
If teardrops were penn- -ies and heartaches were gold
                                         G    G7
I'd have all the riches my pockets would hold
    C                 C7       F             C
I'd be, oh, so wealt- -hy with treasures un- told
  C                             G               C
* If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

[Outro]
[Carl]
C
But teardrops aren?t pennies
[Dolly]
    G                 C
And heartaches aren?t gold
