Capo: 2

****************** DON'T CUSS THE FIDDLE ******************* written by Kris Kristofferson performed by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. Capo on the 2nd fret. Verse 1 (W. Nelson):

I scandal^Bized my brother while admitting that he sang some pretty songs ^E I heard tha^F#t he'd been scandilizing me and Lord i knew that that was wrong ^B Now i'm looking at over something cool and feeling fool enough to see ^E What i had call^F#ed my brother,now he had every right to call on me ^B

Chorus (W. Jennings,W. Nelson):

Don't ev^Ber cuss that fiddle,boy unless you want that fiddle out of tune ^E That picker t^F#here in trouble,boy ain't nothing but another side of you ^B If we ever get to Heaven,boy it ain't because we ain't done nothing wrong ^E We're in this th^F#ing together so let settle down and steal each other's songs ^B

Verse 2 (W. Jennings):

I found a ^Bwounded brother drinking bitterly away the afternoon ^E And soon eno^F#ugh he turned on me like he'd done every face in that saloon ^B Well we cussed him to the ground and said he couldn't even steal a decent song ^E But as soon as ^F#it was spoken we were sad enough to wish that we were wrong ^B

Chorus.

I know that^F# it sounds silly but i think that i just somebody's song ^B

Verse 3 (W. Jennings,W. Nelson):

She's a g^Bood hearted woman in love with a good timin' man ^E She loves hi^F#m in spite of my ways that she don't understand ^B Through teardrops and laughter we'll pass through this world hand in hand ^E A good hea^F#rted woman in love with a good timin' man ^B
