Tim sometimes does this song in
G, but the most popular version is in
C
Verse 1
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
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.

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.
