I scandalized my brother while admitting that he sang some [G] pretty song.
[E] I'd heard that he'd been [A] scandalizing me, and Lord, I knew that [D] that was wrong.
Now I'm looking at it over something cool and feeling fool [G] enough to see
[A] What I had called my brother on, now he had every right to [D] call on me.
Don't ever cuss that fiddle, boy, unless you want that fiddle [G] out too.
[A] That picker there in trouble, boy, ain't nothing but another [D] side of you.
If we ever get to heaven, boys, it ain't because we ain't done [G] nothing wrong.
[A] We're in this gig together, so let's settle down and steal each [D] other's songs.
I found a wounded [A] brother drinking bitterly away in the [G] afternoon,
[A] And soon enough he turned on me like he'd done every face in [D] that saloon.
Well, we [A] cussed him to the [D] ground and said he couldn't even steal a [G] decent song.
[A] But as soon as we spoke, and we were sad enough to wish that [D] we were wrong.
Don't ever cuss that fiddle, boy, unless you want that fiddle [G] out too.
[A] That picker there in trouble, boy, ain't nothing but another [D] side of you.
If we ever get to heaven, boys, it ain't because we ain't done [G] nothing wrong.
[A] We're in this gig together, so let's settle down and steal each other's songs.
[D]
I know [A] that it sounds silly, but I think that I just stole [D] somebody's song.
She's a good-hearted woman in love with a good kind [G] of man.
And [A] she loves him in spite of ways that you don't [D] understand.
Teardrops and laughter, they'll pass in this world.
[E] I'd heard that he'd been [A] scandalizing me, and Lord, I knew that [D] that was wrong.
Now I'm looking at it over something cool and feeling fool [G] enough to see
[A] What I had called my brother on, now he had every right to [D] call on me.
