[Bm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ When [D] the train _ _ pulled into [G] the station
_ _ Rolled [A] up the sleeves, _ [Bb] _ _ risen [Bm] up the boat
_ _ [Bb] _ Fitted [D] upside down, _ _ orange blossom [G] special
_ _ _ _ If [A] you want to make a living, you gotta put on [D] a good show
_ _ _ When [Bm] he smelled _ _ _ smoke [D] and _ cinder
_ _ _ [Bm] Sniffed his hair back, opened up [Em] his cane
_ [A] _ Played [D] Cherokee fiddle, _ _ _ played [G] for the whiskey
_ _ _ Good [A] _
whiskey never let him [D] lose his place
_ _ _ He was always _ there, _ _ playing [G] for the _ miners
_ _ _ [A] Devil's dream [Bb] was a tune they [Bm] understood
_ _ _ [Bb] And then [D] he came back _ to _ [G]

_ _ _ _ _ Now the Indies, _ they're all dressing [G] like cowboys
_ _ _ And [A] the cowboys all [Bb] put the leather and [Bm] turquoise on
_ _ [Bb] And all [D] the music _ _ _ is [G] sold by lawyers
_ _ _ _ [A] And the fools who fiddle in the middle of the stations [D] are gone
_ _ Some [Bm] folks _ _ say they'll never [D]
miss him
_ _ _ Fiddle [Bm] _
streets _ are like the [Em] Indian plains
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] Cherokee fiddle, _ _ _ _ [G] gone forever
_ _ Like _ [A] the music that the whistle on an old _ [D] locomotive makes
