Jean Shepard - Root Of All Evil Chords

G                                C
You've heard that old story ever since time began

     G                    D7
That money is root of all evil
     
     G                              C
Well let me tell you mine it's much older than time

        G           D7        G
For the root of all evil is a man


        C                               G
They'll tell you that they love you and will until they die

    A7
But you'll find them out with someone else

           D7
Before the ink on the licenses is dry

   G                             C
So girls take my advice think it over once or twice

        G           D7        G
For the root of all evil is a man


                                  C
Sure there's honky tonk girls but before you condemn

    G                              D7
And look at her with scorn in your eyes

     G                                  C
Give her just a friendly smile hear her troubles for a while

        G            D7            G
For the cause of her trouble was a man
