She's More to Be Pitied The Stanley Brothers
SHE'S MORE TO BE PITIED
by R.Rakes, made famous by the Stanley Brothers, Seldom Scene, etc.
charted by Christopher Rose
and Bo Frazer
(fiddle intro = last line of chorus)
Verse1:
She's [G]there at the bar every evening,
Face powdered and cheeks painted [D]red.
Her [G]beauty has faded too early,
Brought on by the [D]fast life she's [G]led.[G7]
Chorus:
She's [C]more to be pitied than [G]scolded.
She needs to be loved, not des[D]pised.
Too much beer and [G]wine, Too many good times,
The lure of the honky-tonk [D]wrecked her young [G]life.
Verse2:
She once was the bell of the ballroom.
She'd have made some man a sweet wife,
But too many parties and the wrong kind of pals
Ruined her happy young life.
(Chorus)
(vocal tag = last line of chorus)
