### TABBED BY MARTIJN BUISMAN ###


[C] [F] [Bb] [G7] [Cm7]

[F7] Thereīs a [Bb] scandal in the [G7] neighborhood
And itīs [C7] all about [F7] Julie Brown [Bb]
[F7] It seems that long [Bb] lost [G7] cousin Jerimiah
Had [C] lately arrived in town [F7]
Now when when [Bb] Julieīs fella
came a [G7] callin' and saw him kissing
He [C7] started [F7] home at once [Bb]

[F7] But [Bb] Julie said: Iīm [G7] surprised that you
Donīt go [C7] acting [F7] like a dunce [Bb]

[F7] Why heīs a [Bb] cousin of mine, a [G7] cousin of mine
You're [C7] liable for to [F7] see him here [Bb] any old time
[C7] Gone, heīs a [F7] cousin of mine [Bb]
Heīs a cousin of mine, a [G7] cousin of mine

When [Bb] Julie had explained her [G7] relationship
He [C7] said: Honey, [F7] that may be so [Bb]
[F7] But this [Bb] fellow donīt look like a [G7] 32nd cousin
That I [C] met here a week ago [F7] 

Julie [Bb] smiled at him and [G7] joined her cousinīs side
As they [C7] slowly [F7] walked away [Bb] [F7]
He [Bb] heard him ask: who was [G7] that fella
And he [C7] heard his [F7] Julie say [Bb]

[F7] Why heīs a [Bb] cousin of mine, a [G7] cousin of mine
Youīre [C7] liable for to [F7] see him here [Bb] any old time
Heīs a just cousin of mine, a [G7] cousin of mine
[C7] Gone, heīs a [F7] cousin of mine [Bb]
[F7] would I [G7] fool you
[C7] gone, he's a [F7] cousin of mine [C]
