Achy Breaky Heart A Well you can tell the world you never was my girl You can burn my clothes when I am E gone Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've beenAnd laugh and joke about me on the A phone A You can tell my arms go back to the farmOr you can tell my feet to hit the E floorOr you can tell my lips to tell my fingertipsThey won't be reaching out for you no A more

Chorus: A But don't tell my heart My achy breaky heart I just don't think he'd under E stand And if you tell my heart My achy breaky heart He might blow up and kill this A man

You can tell your ma I moved to ArkansasOr you can tell your dog to bite my E legOr tell your brother Cliff who's fist can tell my lipHe never really liked me any A way A Or tell your aunt Louise tell anything you pleaseMyself already knows I'm not E okOr you can tell my eye to watch out for my mindIt might be walkin' out on me A today

Chorus: (2x with music, last time without) A But don't tell my heart My achy breaky heart I just don't think he'd under E stand And if you tell my heart My achy breaky heart He might blow up and kill this A man
