JENNINGS WAYLON - "dont cuss the fiddle" Tablature

****************** 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
