Be Careful Who You Love (Arthur's Song) chords by
Waylon Jennings
Waylon Jennings

N/A
Verse 1
D

An old guitar picker had run out of liquor

So I sat down beside him
A

and bought him a drink

Then I fought him another,

and finally some color

returned to his cheeks,
D

and he said with a wink,

Son, I worked with red foley, new hang,

and old lefty,
A
D

and I worked on the Opry back
G

when it was strong,
A

But it's your business, you know,

and it sometimes gets slow

So buy me another
D

and I'll sing you a song

Be careful who you love
A

For love can be untrue

Be careful who you love,
G
A
D

be sure she loves you too.

Well you like it I see,

and that's pleasing to me.

But son I've rode hundreds
A

and some you know well.

I wrote them and sold them,

they bought them and stole them

But paper is cheap, they're just tunes,
D

what the hell

Then he offered to sell me

the song he'd just sung

But I told him that song is a
G

piece of your soul
A

Keep your song, here's some money

He said, thank you, sonny

And I heard him sing
D

as I walked out the door

Be careful who you love
A

For love can be untrue

Be careful who you love,
G
A
D

be sure she loves you too.

Well, that was about a year ago.

Friend, wouldn't you just know.

It's a big hit
A
D
A

that some superstar claims he wrote.

He sings it in grace and the money rolls in

It's a wonder the lyrics
D

don't stick in his throat

Now I think of that writer

named Arthur and wonder
G

Just how many children he sold in his time
A

And how many men

take the gift that God gave them
D

And throw it away for the pretty red wine?

Be careful who you love

For love can be untrue
A

Be careful who you love,
G
A
D

be sure she loves you too,

be careful who you love,
A

for love can be untrue.

Be careful who you love,

be sure she loves you.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
