_______________
C
Well, he comes over to the house in a three day beard
[F]Sleeps on the couch, makes the place smell wierd
C G
He's on something and it damn sure ain't the job
C
He scares the kids, stays on the phone
F
He's got a car somewhere for me to co-sign on
C G C
He's been disowned and his wife's run off with Bob
(small pause)
F
She finally told him he wasn't worth a damn
C
He tries to blame it all on Vietnam
G
But he wasn't there, he was twelve in seventy-four
C
And he's got 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
1st CHORUS
C F
He's my brother-in-law ; He's from Arkansas
C G
Lord, the best man at my wedding and the worst I ever saw
C F
He's living 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

F
Everyday he smokes four packs of menthols
[C]Makes about eight more long distance calls
G
Snorts alcohol ; Talks like Dusty Rhodes
C
And he'll go through 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
2nd CHORUS
C F
He's my brother-in-law ; He's got nothing 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 gotten out of hand ; He oughta be a congressman
C G C
He's the kinda fella that I can't stand and he's my brother-in-law
G C
Oh, he's the generic brand and he's my brother-in-lawwwwwwwww
