written by Kris Kristofferson performed by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. Verse 1 (W. Nelson):
          B                                                                E
        I scandalized my brother while admitting that he sang some pretty songs

            F#                                                                B
        I heard that he'd been scandalizing me and Lord I knew that that was wrong

                                                                              E
        Now I'm looking at it over something cool and feeling fool enough to see

                F#                                                       B
        What I had called my brother, now he had every right to call on me
Chorus (W. Jennings, W. Nelson):
         B                                                                   E
        Don't ever cuss that fiddle boy, unless you want that fiddle out of tune

              F#                                                             B
        That picker there in trouble boy, ain't nothing but another side of you

                                                                               E
        If we ever get to heaven boy, it ain't because we ain't done nothing wrong

                 F#                                                                B
        We're in this thing together so let settle down and steal each other's songs
Verse 2 (W. Jennings):
           B                                                       E
        I found a wounded brother drinking bitterly away the afternoon

             F#                                                              B
        And soon enough he turned on me like he'd done every face in that saloon

                                                                                   E
        Well, we cussed him to the ground and said he couldn't even steal a decent song

                F#                                                             B
        But as soon as it was spoken we were sad enough to wish that we were wrong
Chorus.
            F#                                                               B
        I know that it sounds silly but I think that I just stole somebody's song
Verse 3 (W. Jennings, W. Nelson):
          B                                                    E
        She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man

             F#                                                 B
        She loves him in spite of my ways that she don't understand

                                                                              E
        Through teardrops and laughter we'll pass through this world hand in hand

           F#                                            B
        A good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man
