CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: C G C G
Some[Am]times in the [Em/G]middle of the [F]lonely [C]night[F]
No one there to be his [C]friend[Am]
He'd grab the [Em/G]fiddle and he'd [F]hold it [C]tight[F]
The angels there would gather '[C]round him[F]
And he would play all through the [C]night[F]
He would play all through the [C]night[F]
He would [Dm]play 'til every[Em]thing seemed al[E]right
And I [Am]cried every [Em/G]time that I [F]watched him [C]play, lord[F]
He really had something to [C]say[F]
And I watched him steal a[C]way
He [Am]built himself a [Em/G]cabin at the [F]foot of a [C]hill[F]
He never knew the city [C]street
He [Am]never had much [Em/G]money, never [F]needed a [C]will[F]
All he had was one old [C]fiddle[F]
And he passed it down to [C]me[F]
And he passed it down to [C]me[F]
So I'll [Dm]play it, for the [Em]world seems al[E]right
Gonna [Am]play 'til the [Em/G]angels [F]dance in the [C]sky, lord[F]
I'll play this fiddle 'til I [C]die[F]
I'll play this fiddle 'til I [C]die[F]
I'll play this fiddle 'til I [C]die[F]
I'll play this fiddle in the [C]sky[F]
