Chords

[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
