Don't Use My Heart For A Stepping Stone

• C

Song by Johnny Horton circa 1959


Played in C, but on the records I have, it seems to be played C with capo on 3rd fret,
so naturally I use C with capo on 3rd fret and it goes fine with the records.

Don't Use My Heart For A Stepping Stone


#1


C                        F              G7                C
Don't use my heart for a stepping stone to someone else's arms
                    F           G7                   C
Cause darling now I love you so just say you love me to
                  F             G7              C
My fondest dreams depend on you to make my life complete
                     F         G7                 C
My love for you will never die no matter what you do


#2


    F                C               G7               C
The world will go on living dear but no one else will do
   F               C     Am         D7             G7
So say that we can start anew cause darling I love you
C                        F              G7                C
Don't use my heart for a stepping stone to someone else's arms
                    F              G7               C
Cause darling now I love you so my heart belongs to you


---Then play (basically just play as fancy as you like, the "forth" 
or last line of #1, then pick up on #2 and start singing again
as is below for the ending...


    F                C               G7               C
The world will go on living dear but no one else will do
   F               C     Am         D7             G7
So say that we can start anew cause darling I love you
C                        F              G7                C
Don't use my heart for a stepping stone to someone else's arms
                    F              G7                 C
Cause darling now I love you so my heart belongs to --you

End

-------------------
An alternate #2.  (Note the additional chords.  I've heard
it played a bit fancier this way...)  I actually prefer it this way.

    F          G  F  C               G7               C
The world will go on living dear but no one else will do
   F        G  F   C      Am        D7             G7
So say that we can start anew cause darling I love you
C                        F              G7                C
Don't use my heart for a stepping stone to someone else's arms
                    F              G7               C
Cause darling now I love you so my heart belongs to you


---Play and start singing as in the above 'simplier' version
then pickup the same way as below for the end:


    F          G  F  C               G7               C
The world will go on living dear but no one else will do
   F        G  F   C      Am        D7             G7
So say that we can start anew cause darling I love you
C                        F              G7                C
Don't use my heart for a stepping stone to someone else's arms
                    F              G7                 C
Cause darling now I love you so my heart belongs to --you

(and then end.)
 

I hope you enjoy it!  ---Beowolff
