 INTRO: D
 
     D                                                             G     G/F#    G  
 I scandalize my brother while admittin' that he sings some purty songs, and he does
      A7                                                                 D    Dsus4   D  
 I'd heard that he'd been scandalizin' me and Lord I knew that that was wrong, and it was
         D                                                               G G/F# G 
 Now I'm lookin' at it older, somethin' cool and feelin' fool enough to see
      A7                                                            D 
 What I had called my brother on now he had every right to call on me
 
 CHORUS:
 D                                                                   G  
 Don't ever cuss that fiddle boy unless you want that fiddle out of tune
        A7                                                           D 
 That picker there in trouble boy ain't nothin' but another side of you
        D                                                               G  
 If we ever get to Heaven boys it ain't because we ain't done nothin' wrong
        A7                                                                D  
 We're in this gig together so let's settle down and steal each other's songs
 
 (Key change to E)
    E                                                    A     Asus2 A 
 I found a wounded brother drinkin' bitterly away the afternoon
     B7                                                             E     Esus4   E  
 And soon enough he turned on me like he'd done every face in that saloon, yes he did
 E                                                                         A   Asus2 A 
 Well we cussed him to the ground and said he couldn't even steal a decent song
      B7                                                            E   
 But soon as it was spoken we were sad enough to wish that we were wrong
 
 CHORUS:
 E                                                                   A  
 Don't ever cuss that fiddle boy unless you want that fiddle out of tune
       B7                                                            E 
 That picker there in trouble boy ain't nothin' but another side of you
 E                                                                         A   
 And if we ever get to Heaven boys it ain't because we ain't done nothin' wrong
       B7                                                               E   
 We're in this gig together so let's settle down at steal each other's songs
 
   B7                                                                  E  Esus4 E 
 I know that it sounds silly but I think that I just stole somebody's song
 
 (SPOKEN over E)
 Sorry Merle, Jeff, Tom too, Waylon, Hank, Willie, Harlan...
