****************** 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):

          B                                                                E

	I scandalized my brother while admitting that he sang some pretty songs

            F#                                                                B

	I heard that he'd been scandilizing me and Lord i knew that that was wrong

                                                                           E

	Now i'm looking at 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 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
