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
CDon't use my heart for a Fstepping stone G7to someone else's Carms
Cause darling now I Flove you so G7just say you love me Cto

The Fworld will go on Cliving dear but G7no one else will Cdo
So Fsay that we can Cstart Amanew cause D7darling I love G7you
CDon't use my heart for a Fstepping stone G7to someone else's Carms
Cause darling now I Flove you so my G7heart belongs to Cyou
---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...
The Fworld will go on Cliving dear but G7no one else will Cdo

End
-------------------
An alternate #2. (Note the additional chords. I've heard
it played a bit fancier this way...) I actually prefer it this way.
The Fworld will Ggo Fon Cliving dear but G7no one else will Cdo
So Fsay that Gwe Fcan Cstart aAmnew cause D7darling I love G7you
CDon't use my heart for a Fstepping stone G7to someone else's Carms
Cause darling now I Flove you so my G7heart belongs to Cyou
---Play and start singing as in the above 'simplier' version
then pickup the same way as below for the end:
The Fworld will Ggo Fon Cliving dear but G7no one else will Cdo
So Fsay that Gwe Fcan Cstart aAmnew cause D7darling I love G7you
CDon't use my heart for a Fstepping stone G7to someone else's Carms
Cause darling now I Flove you so my G7heart belongs to --Cyou
(and then end.)
I hope you enjoy it! ---Beowolff
