"The Devil Went down to Georga"

|Dm | |C |Dm C |Bb Am |G A |Dm A C |Dm | | |

Dm
The devil went down to georgia, he was lookin for a soul to steal,
he was in a bind 'cause he was way behind and he was willin' to make a deal.
When he came across this young man sawin on a fiddle and playing it hot,
and the devil jumped up on a hickory stump and he said boy let me tell ya what.

|A C Dm |

Dm
I guess you didn't know it but I'm a fiddle player too,
and if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
Now you play pretty good fiddle boy, but give the devil his due,
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against you soul 'cause i think i'm better then you.

|A C Dm |

Dm
The boy said my names johnny and it may be a sin, but i'll take your bet
an' your gonna regret 'cause i'm the best there's ever been.

|Dm | |C | |Gm
Johnny rosin up your bow an' play your fiddle hard' cause hell's broke loose in
| |Dm | | | |Gm
georgia an' the devil deals the cards. And if you win you'll get this shiny
fiddle
| |A | | | |
made of gold, but if you loose the devil gets your soul!

|Dm | |C |Dm C |Bb Am |G A |Dm A C |Dm | | |

Dm-3rd
The devil opened up his case and he said I'll start this show.
and fire flew from his finger tips as he rosigned up his bow.
And he pulled the bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss.
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded somthing like this.

Wild and crazy Charlie D's Violin

|Gm Am|Bb C | Dm | |
When the
Dm-3d
Devil finished, Johnny said, well your pretty good ol' son, but sit down in
that chair right there an' let me show you how it's done! he played

(chorus)
D C
Fire on the mountain run boy's run! The devil's in the house of the
risen sun!
D C
Chicken in the bread pan picken out dough! Granny does your dog bite,
no child, no!

|Dm | |C | |Dm | |C | |Dm | |C | |A | | |
| |A-3d C

Dm
The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat,
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at johnny's feet.
Johnny said devil just come on back if you ever want to try again,
Cause I told you once you son of a bitch i'm the best there's ever
been!

(chorus again)
