****************** DON'T CUSS THE FIDDLE *******************

written by Kris Kristofferson

performed by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.

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
