Capo on the 2nd fret. Verse 1 (W. Nelson): B E I scandalized my brother while admitting that he sang some pretty songs F# B I heard that he'd been scandilizing me and Lord i knew that that was wrong E Now i'm looking at over something cool and feeling fool enough to see F# B What i had called my brother,now he had every right to call on me Chorus (W. Jennings,W. Nelson): B E Don't ever cuss that fiddle,boy unless you want that fiddle out of tune F# B That picker there in trouble,boy ain't nothing but another side of you E If we ever get to Heaven,boy it ain't because we ain't done nothing wrong F# B We're in this thing together so let settle down and steal each other's songs Verse 2 (W. Jennings): B E I found a wounded brother drinking bitterly away the afternoon F# B And soon enough he turned on me like he'd done every face in that saloon E Well we cussed him to the ground and said he couldn't even steal a decent song F# B But as soon as it was spoken we were sad enough to wish that we were wrong Chorus. F# B I know that it sounds silly but i think that i just somebody's song Verse 3 (W. Jennings,W. Nelson): B E She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man F# B She loves him in spite of my ways that she don't understand E Through teardrops and laughter we'll pass through this world hand in hand F# B A good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man Thanks to David M.
