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 Note: You can hear this song on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2u4G0ondlo
