Hes My Brother In-Law

C
He comes over to  the house in a three day beard.
F
Sleeps on the couch and makes the place smell weird.
C                                           G
He's on somethin' and it damn sure ain't a job.
C
He scares the kids and stays on the phone,
F
He's got a car somewhere for me to co-sign on.
C                              G                  C
He's been dis-owned, and his wife's run off with Bob.
F
She finally told him he wasn't worth a damn,
       C                                                              G
He tries to blame it all on Vietnam, but he wasn't there he was 12 in 74'
C
And he's had a bad back and a messy divorce,
F
He's got a workman's comp case tied up in court.
C                        G               C
He can't move and I can sure vouch for that.

[Chorus 1]
C                                     F
He's my brother in-law, He's from Arkansas.
               C                                       G
Lord the best man at my weddin' and the worst I ever saw.
                   C                            F
He's livin' off of me, He's the baby of the family.
           C                           G                  C
My wife won't let me shoot him cause' he's my brother in-law.

[Verse 2]
F
Everyday  he smokes four packs of menthols,
C
Makes about eight more long distance calls,
C                                    G
Snorts alchohol, talks like Dusty Rhodes.
C
And he'll go thru your wallet with a fine tooth comb,
F
And eat your family out of house and home.
C                                G                  C
He'll cuss out your preacher, and stop up your Commode

[Chorus 2]
C                                                   F
He's your brother in-law, he's got nothin' on the ball,
                      C                                             G
The kind of man who would rob from Peter and write a bad check to Paul.
                      C                              F
He's gottin' out of hand, he ought to be a congress-man,
                            C                  G                   C
He's the kind of fellow that I can't stand and he's my brother in-law.
    F                 C              G                   C
Oh Yeah..He's the generic brand and he's my brother in-law.
