CHEATIN' IS
As recorded by Emmylou Harris with Glen Campbell
(From the 1979 Album BLUE KENTUCKY GIRL - CD REISSUE BONUS TRACK)
Capo 1st fret
[Intro]
D G A D
[Verse 1]
D
Cheatin' is a thing that starts when you bring
G
Two lonely people face to face with a brand new kiss
A
She blames him and he blames her
D
Neither one is really quite sure which way it is
G
And all of the time in the back of their minds
D
They know they're gonna have to lie about where they've been
D
Cheatin' is a thing that takes a little ring
A7 D
And breaks it into pieces that'll never go together again
[Verse 2]
D
Cheatin' is the part of lovin' that starts
G
When true love isn't what lovers are looking for
A
A stranger here, a stranger there
D
Then you turn around and swear that you'll never go back for more
G
And lying at night when you're holding him tight
D
Is something that a cheater's heart is bound to learn
D
Cheatin' is a thing that's guaranteed to bring
A7 D
Two unhappy people to the point of no return
[Interlude]
A C D
[Verse 3]
G
And the worst of cheatin' is the sad little kids
A D
Hangin' in the middle while mommy and daddy choose
D
Cheatin' is a game where nobody wins
A7 D
But the ones that aren't big enough to play are the ones who lose
