Guitar chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: D

Intro:

D7


Verse 1:
  D7
I scandalized my brother
                                         G7
While admitting that he sang some pretty songs  (and he did)
    A7
I'd heard that he'd been scandalizing me
                              D7
And Lord I knew that that was wrong (yeah it was)
        D7
Now I'm looking at over something cool
                           G7
And feeling fool enough to see
     A7
What I had called my brother on
                                  D7
Now he had every right to call on me

Chorus:
      D7
Don't ever cuss that fiddle, boy
                                   G7
Unless you want that fiddle out of tune
     A7
That picker there in trouble, boy
                                  D7
Ain't nothing but another side of you
      D7
If we ever get to Heaven, boy
                                       G7
It ain't because we ain't done nothing wrong
      A7
We're in this gig together
                                            D7      E7
So let's settle down and steal each other's songs


Verse 2:
  E7 N.C.
I found a wounded brother
         E7 N.C.                A7
Drinking bitterly away the afternoon
    B7
And soon enough he turned on me
                                        E7
Like he'd done every face in that saloon
        E7 N.C.
Well we cussed him to the ground
            E7 N.C.                      A7
And said he couldn't even steal a decent song
    B7
But soon as it was spoken
                                        E7
We were sad enough to wish that we were wrong


Chorus:
      E7
Don't ever cuss that fiddle, boy
                                   A7
Unless you want that fiddle out of tune
     B7
That picker there in trouble, boy
                                  E7
Ain't nothing but another side of you
      E7
If we ever get to Heaven, boy
                                       A7
It ain't because we ain't done nothing wrong
      B7
We're in this gig together
                                            E7
So let's settle down and steal each other's songs


Outro:
  B7
I know that it sounds silly but
                                     E7
I think that I just stole somebody's song
