from the album "Waylon & Willie"

I think this version sounds a lot better. Could just be me, though.

Corrections welcome.

INTRO: D

D Dsus2 G

I scandalized my brother while admitting that he sang some pretty songs

A D

I'd heard that he'd been scandalizin' me and Lord I knew that that was wrong

Dsus2 G

Now I'm lookin' at it over, 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 D/F# G

Don't ever cuss that fiddle boy unless you want that fiddle out of tune

A D

That picker there in trouble boy ain't nothin' but another side of you

D D/F# 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

I found a wounded brother drinkin' bitterly away the afternoon

And soon enough he turned on me like he'd done every face in that saloon

Well we cussed him to the ground and said he couldn't even steal a decent song

But as soon as it was spoken we was sad enough to wish that we were wrong

CHORUS

A7 D

I know that it sounds silly but I think that I just stoled somebody's song

TAG (VERSE CHORDS):

She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man

And she loves in spite of his ways that she don't understand

And through teardrops and laughter they'll pass through this world hand in hand

She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man
