[Verse 1]
[Bb]He w[F]as worki[C]ng in his garden
when I happened by
He [D]waved me over
with a look in his eye
And [F]started breaking off
some [Gsus4]ears of c[F]orn[C][Bb]
[F]Here boy[C], today this corn is just right
[D]Boil it up for your supper tonight
I've [F]learned it's true
what my pappy used to [G]say[Gsus4][G]
[F]Not[Bb]hing's quite as goo[F]d
till you [C]gave it away
[G]If you wan[C]t more happy
than your heart will hold
If you [D]want to stand tall
and if the truth were told
[F]Take whatever you [G]have
[F]and give it [Gsus4]away[C][F][C][Bb]
[F]If you [C]want [F]less [C]lonely
and a lot more fun
In [D]deep satisfaction
when the day is done
Throw [F]your heart wide open
and give it [C]away[Bb]
[F]There's been a [C]lot of water
going over the dam
Since the [D]day in the garden
with my Uncle Sam
So I [F]hope you'll hear these words
[G]I have t[Gsus4]o say[C][F][C][Bb]
[F]There are [C]two kinds of folks,
[F]tak[C]ers a[F]nd giv[C]ers,
[D]gripers and complainers,
and big hard delivers.
It de[F]pends on how we
choose to spend our [G]days.
We [Am]can h[Bb]oard up all we g[F]ot,
or [C]give it all [Gsus4]away.
[G]If you [C]want [F]more [C]happy
than your heart will hold
If you [D]want to stand tall
than if the truth were told
[F]Take whatever you have
and give it [C]away[Bb]
[F]If you [C]want [F]less [C]lonely
and a lot more fun
And [D]deep satisfaction
when the day has started
[F]Throw your heart wide open
and give it [C]away[Bb][F][C][D]

[C][Bb][F][C][F][C]
[D][F]
[G]We can[Am] hoa[Bb]rd up all we got[F],
or [C]give it all [Gsus4]away.
[G]If you wan[C]t more, happy,
then your heart will hold.
If [D]you want to stand tall,
and if the truth weren't told,
[F]Take whatever you have,
and give it [C]away[Bb]
[F]If you [C]want less lonely
and a lot more fun
And [D]deep satisfaction
when the day is done
Throw [F]your heart wide open,
and give it away
