Hank Williams Jr. – Be Careful Who You Love (Guitar)

A
The old guitar picker had run out of liquor

                                          E
So I sat down beside him and bought him a drink

E
Then I bought him another and finally some color

                                          A
Returned to his cheeks and he said with a wink

A
"Son, I worked with your daddy, I knew Ernest and ol' Lefty

                                       E
I played on the Oprey back when it was strong

E
But it's show-biz you know, sometimes it gets slow

                                      A
So buy me another and I'll sing you a song"

 D                                        A
"Be careful who you love, for love can be untrue

                             D
Be careful who you love, be sure she loves you too"

A
Well, you like it, I see and that's real pleasin' to me

                                                       E
'Cause Bocephus, I've wrote hundreds and some you know well

E
I wrote and sold 'em, they bought 'em and stoled 'em

A
But paper is cheap, why they're just tunes, what the heck

A
Then he tried to sell me the song he'd just song me

                 E
I told him that song is a piece of your soul

E
"Keep your song, here's some money", said Hank Jr

E
"Bless you, son"

                                            A
And I heard him singin' as I walked out the door

A
He said, "Now Hank remember"

 D                                        A
"Be careful who you love, for love can be untrue

                             D
Be careful who you love, be sure she loves you too"

A
Well, that was about a year ago and now friends wouldn't ya know

A
The songs a big hit, some superstar claims he wrote

   E
He sings it and grins and the money rolls in

       A
It's a wonder the words don't stick in his throat

A
Now I think of that writer, his name was Arthur and I often wonder

                                        E
Just how many hit songs he sold in his time

E
And how many men take the gift that God gave 'em

                                  A
And throw it away for the pretty red wine, quite a few

 D                                        A
"Be careful who you love, for love can be untrue

                             D
Be careful who you love, be sure she loves you too"
