Be Careful Who You Love chords by Hank Williams Jr

Chords with lyrics

Intro: BB

Verse 1:
BB
The old guitar picker had run out of liquor
               F#F#
So I sat down beside him and bought him a drink
F#F#
Then I bought him another and finally some color
                     BB
Returned to his cheeks and he said with a wink


Verse 2:
BB
"Son, I worked with your daddy, I knew Ernest and ol' Lefty
                    E MajorE
I played on the Oprey back when it was strong
     F#F#
But it's show-biz you know, sometimes it gets slow
                   BB  F#F#
So buy me another and I'll sing you a song"

  BB                    F#F#
"Be careful who you love, for love can be untrue
              E MajorE    F#F#    BB
Be careful who you love, be sure she loves you too"


Verse 3:
BB
Well, you like it, I see and that's real pleasin' to me
                     F#F#
'Cause Bocephus, I've wrote hundreds and some you know well
F#F#
I wrote and sold 'em, they bought 'em and stoled 'em
                             BB
But paper is cheap, why they're just tunes, what the heck

Verse 4:
BB
Then he tried to sell me the song he'd just song me
                    F#F#
I told him that song is a piece of your soul
      F#F#
"Keep your song, here's some money", said Hank Jr "Bless you, son"
                      BB
And I heard him singin' as I walked out the door
       F#F#
He said, "Now Hank remember"

  BB                    F#F#
"Be careful who you love, for love can be untrue
              E MajorE    F#F#    BB
Be careful who you love, be sure she loves you too"


Verse 5:
BB
Well, that was about a year ago and now friends wouldn't ya know
                       F#F#
The songs a big hit, some superstar claims he wrote
F#F#
He sings it and grins and the money rolls in
                      BB
It's a wonder the words don't stick in his throat

Verse 6:
BB
Now I think of that writer, his name was Arthur and I often wonder
                    E MajorE
Just how many hit songs he sold in his time
  F#F#
And how many men take the gift that God gave 'em
                   BB       F#F#
And throw it away for the pretty red wine, quite a few


  BB                    F#F#
"Be careful who you love, for love can be untrue
              E MajorE    F#F#    BB
Be careful who you love, be sure she loves you too"
