[Intro]
A

[Verse 1]
A                                            
You can tell the world, you never was my girl
                                  E   
You can burn my clothes when I am gone
   E                                                    
Or you can tell your friends, just what a fool I've been
                                   A    
And laugh and joke about me on the phone

[Verse 2]
A                                          
You can tell my arms, go back into the farm
                                E    
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
   E                                          
Or you can tell my lips, to tell my fingertips
                                      A   
They won't be reaching out for you no more

[Chorus]
    A                                        
But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
                             E    
I just don't think he'd understand
    E                                         
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
                               A  
He might blow up and kill this man
   A      
Uuuuuuuu..

[Verse 3]
A                                         
You can tell your maw, I moved to Arkansas
                                 E  
You can tell your dog to bite my leg
   E                                                  
Or tell your brother Cliff, whose fist can tell my lip
                            A  
He never really liked me anyway

[Verse 4]
   A                                              
Go tell your aunt Louise, tell anything you please
                              E  
Myself already knows I'm not okay
   E                                         
Or you can tell my eye, watch out for my mind
                                  A  
It might be walkin' out on me one day

[Chorus]
    A                                        
But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
                             E    
I just don't think he'd understand
    E                                         
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
                               A  
He might blow up and kill this man
   A      
Uuuuuuuu..

[Instrumental]
|(A)  | A   | A   | E   |
| E   | E   | E   | A   |

[Chorus]
A                                        
Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
                             E    
I just don't think he'd understand
    E                                         
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
                               A  
He might blow up and kill this man
N.C.
Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
   A      
Uuuuuuuu..
