A  A  A  E7 
A                                                  
Well you can tell the world you never was my girl  
                                  E7    
You can burn my clothes when I am gone  
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been  
                                   A      
And laugh and joke about me on the phone  
   
You can tell my arms go back'n to the farm  
                                   E7     
Or you can tell my feet to hit the floor  
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips  
                                      A     
They won't be reaching out for you no more  
   
A                                         
Don't tell my heart my achy breaky heart  
                              E7     
I just don't think he'd under-stand  
And if you tell my heart my achy breaky heart  
                               A   A    A      
He might blow up and kill this man oooo ooooo  
   
A                                                  
Well you can tell the world you never was my girl  
                                  E7    
You can burn my clothes when I am gone  
E7                                                       
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been  
                                   A      
And laugh and joke about me on the phone  
   
You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas  
                                    E7   
Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg  
Or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip  
                             A    
He never really liked me any-way  
   
Or tell your aunt Louise tell anything you please  
                               E7 
Myself already knows I'm not o k  
Or you can tell my eye to watch out for my mind  
                                 A    
It might be walkin' out on me to-day  
   
A                                         
Don't tell my heart my achy breaky heart  
                              E7     
I just don't think he'd under-stand  
And if you tell my heart my achy breaky heart  
                               A   A    A      
He might blow up and kill this man oooo ooooo  
   
A                                         
Don't tell my heart my achy breaky heart  
                              E7     
I just don't think he'd under-stand  
And if you tell my heart my achy breaky heart  
                               A   A    A      
He might blow up and kill this man oooo ooooo  
   
Chorus a cappella:
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  
                                   A    A      
He might blow up and kill this man oooo ooooo
