Be Careful Who You Love Chords

  			Intro: B 

Verso 1: 
B 
The old guitar picker had run out of liquor 
                             F# 
So I sat down beside him and bought him a drink 
F# 
Then I bought him another and finally some color 
                                          B 
Returned to his cheeks and he said with a wink 


Verso 2:
B 
"Son, I worked with your daddy, I knew Ernest and ol' Lefty 
                                       E 
I played on the Oprey back when it was strong 
         F# 
But it's show-biz you know, sometimes it gets slow 
                                      B    F# 
So buy me another and I'll sing you a song" 


 
    B                                       F# 
"Be careful who you love, for love can be untrue 
                            E        F#        B 
Be careful who you love, be sure she loves you too" 


Verso 3: 
B 
Well, you like it, I see and that's real pleasin' to me 
                                         F# 
'Cause Bocephus, I've wrote hundreds and some you know well 
F# 
I wrote and sold 'em, they bought 'em and stoled 'em 
                                                         B 
But paper is cheap, why they're just tunes, what the heck 

Verso 4: 
B 
Then he tried to sell me the song he'd just song me 
                                        F# 
I told him that song is a piece of your soul 
           F# 
"Keep your song, here's some money", said Hank Jr "Bless you, son" 
                                            B 
And I heard him singin' as I walked out the door 
              F# 
He said, "Now Hank remember" 



    B                                       F# 
"Be careful who you love, for love can be untrue 
                            E        F#        B 
Be careful who you love, be sure she loves you too" 


Verso 5:
B 
Well, that was about a year ago and now friends wouldn't ya know 
                                              F# 
The songs a big hit, some superstar claims he wrote 
F# 
He sings it and grins and the money rolls in 
                                           B 
It's a wonder the words don't stick in his throat 

Verso 6:
B 
Now I think of that writer, his name was Arthur and I often wonder 
                                       E 
Just how many hit songs he sold in his time 
    F# 
And how many men take the gift that God gave 'em 
                                     B             F# 
And throw it away for the pretty red wine, quite a few 

 
    B                                       F# 
"Be careful who you love, for love can be untrue 
                            E        F#        B 
Be careful who you love, be sure she loves you too"
