By Buck Owens
[C]I'll play second fiddle to your [C7]new love while it [F]lasts
Just like all the [C]others I played for in the [G7]past
Why [C]can't I be a leader and [C7]play your leading [F]part
Why must I always [C]have to play second [G7]fiddle in your [C]heart
[G7]Play fiddle [C]play will [G7]there never come a [C]day
[F]When I won't have to [C]play the part
Of [G7]second fiddle in your [C]heart
Each time you find a new love [C7]you leave me here to [F]cry
The teardrops tell a [C]story of a love that just won't [G7]die
Like an [C]early morning paper the [C7]news you get just [F]part
Why must I always [C]have to play second [G7]fiddle in your [C]heart
Repeat #2
