SHE'S MORE TO BE PITIED
by R.Rakes, made famous by the Stanley Brothers, Seldom Scene, etc.
charted by Christopher Rose
and Bo Frazer
(fiddle intro last line of chorus)
Verse1:
She's [G]there at the bar every evening,
Face powdered and cheeks painted [D]red.
Her [G]beauty has faded too early,
Brought on by the [D]fast life she's [G]led.[G7]
Chorus:
She's [C]more to be pitied than [G]scolded.
She needs to be loved, not des[D]pised.
Too much beer and [G]wine, Too many good times,
The lure of the honky-tonk [D]wrecked her young [G]life.
Verse2:
She once was the bell of the ballroom.
She'd have made some man a sweet wife,
But too many parties and the wrong kind of pals
Ruined her happy young life.
