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