 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
