I Don't Like Half The Folks I Love
Paul Thorn

A                    D        A
My family reunion is goin' on today
A                                   E
My relatives have all flown in from places far away
       A                            D
As we sit there eatin' chicken, it hits me like a truck
A            E                A
I don't like half the folks I love
 
A                            D                 A
Me and my former best friend had a big fallin' out
A                               E
I caught him with my wife, so I punched him in the mouth
A                                   D
We just can't hang out anymore, but I still wish them luck
A            E                A
I don't like half the folks I love
 
D                                     A
God knows they're all dear to me, but if the truth be told
  B                             E
I like it when they come, but I love it when they go
    A                                        D
I'm sure they've got good qualities, but the bad ones cover them up
A            E                A
I don't like half the folks I love
 
A                        D             A
My alcoholic buddies are fun to hang around
A                       E
When we drink together, peace and joy abound
A                                               D
Sometimes they bring me one more shot when they know I've had enough
A            E                A
I don't like half the folks I love
 
D                                     A
God knows they're all dear to me, but if the truth be told
  B                             E
I like it when they come, but I love it when they go
    A                                        D
I'm sure they've got good qualities, but the bad ones cover them up
A            E                A
I don't like half the folks I love

A                         D            A
In this world we live in, this I guarantee
A                             E
We all need more tolerance to get along peacefully
        A                           D
But I'm not as nice as Jesus, and I really am fed up
A            E                A
I don't like half the folks I love
 
D                                     A
God knows they're all dear to me, but if the truth be told
  B                             E
I like it when they come, but I love it when they go
    A                                        D
I'm sure they've got good qualities, but the bad ones cover them up
A            E                A
I don't like half the folks I love
A                E                A
Oh, I don't like half the folks I love
