INTRO: D
I sc[D]andalize my brother while admittin' that he sings some purty s[G]ongs, [G/F#]and he d[G]oes
I'd h[A7]eard that he'd been scandalizin' me and Lord I knew that that was w[D]rong,[Dsus4] and it [D]was
Now I'm [D]lookin' at it older, somethin' cool and feelin' fool enough to s[G]ee[G/F#][G]
What [A7]I had called my brother on now he had every right to call on m[D]e
CHORUS:
[D]Don't ever cuss that fiddle boy unless you want that fiddle out of t[G]une
That pi[A7]cker there in trouble boy ain't nothin' but another side of y[D]ou
If we e[D]ver get to Heaven boys it ain't because we ain't done nothin' wr[G]ong
We're i[A7]n this gig together so let's settle down and steal each other's so[D]ngs
(Key change to E)
I f[E]ound a wounded brother drinkin' bitterly away the aft[A]ernoon[Asus2][A]
And [B7]soon enough he turned on me like he'd done every face in that s[E]aloon,[Esus4] yes he [E]did
[E]Well we cussed him to the ground and said he couldn't even steal a decent [A]song[Asus2][A]
But s[B7]oon as it was spoken we were sad enough to wish that we were w[E]rong
CHORUS:
[E]Don't ever cuss that fiddle boy unless you want that fiddle out of t[A]une
That p[B7]icker there in trouble boy ain't nothin' but another side of y[E]ou
[E]And if we ever get to Heaven boys it ain't because we ain't done nothin' w[A]rong
We're [B7]in this gig together so let's settle down at steal each other's s[E]ongs
I [B7]know that it sounds silly but I think that I just stole somebody's s[E]ong[Esus4][E]
(SPOKEN over E)
Sorry Merle, Jeff, Tom too, Waylon, Hank, Willie, Harlan...
