The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul [G] to steal.
He was in a bind, but he was way behind, he was willing to [D] make a deal.
When he came across this young man sewing on a fiddle and playing it hot, [A] and the devil
jumped up on a hickory stump and said, boy, let me tell you [C] why.
[Dm] I guess you [D] 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 a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due.
I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, because I think I'm [A] better than [C] you.
[D] The boy said, my name's Johnny, and it might be a sin, but I'll take your bet, and you're
gonna regret it, because I'm the best [Bb] there's ever [Db] been.
[Dm] Johnny, rouse up your [C] foe and play your fiddle [Gm] hard, because hell's broke loose in Georgia
[Dm] and the devil deals in cards.
And if you win, you'll get this [Gm] shiny fiddle made of gold, [A] but if you lose, the devil gets your [G] [F] soul.
[E] [Dm]
[C] [Dm] [C]
[Bb] [Am] [G] [Dm] [D] The devil opened up his case and he said, I'll start this show, and fire flew from his
fingertips as he roused up his bow, and he pulled the bow across the strings and it made
an evil hiss, and a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like [Am] this.

I done told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best there's ever been.
