devil went down to Georgia.
He was looking for a soul to steal.
He was in a [E] bind cause he was way behind and he was willing to make a deal.
When he came across this [G] young man sewing on a fiddle and playing it [Eb] hot.
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said, [Am] boy let me tell you what.
[D] I guess you didn't know it but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you.
Now you [G] play a pretty good fiddle boy but if the devil is due
I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul cause I think I'm better [A] than you.
[C] [D] Well I said my name's Johnny and it might be a sin.
But I'll take your bet you're gonna [G] regret cause I'm the [Db] best there's [C] ever [Dm] been.
Johnny rolling up your [C] board playing the fiddle hard.
[Gm] Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia and [Dm] the devil deals the cards.
But if you win you get this [Gm] shiny fiddle made of gold.
[A]
If you lose the devil gets your soul.

The devil opened up his case and he said I'll start this show.
And fire flew from his fingertips as he rolled [G] up his bow.
And he pulled his bow across the strings and it made an [A] evil hiss.
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.

But sit down in that chair right there I'm gonna show you [N] how it's [D] done.
[C] Living in [F] the house of [C] the rising sun.

Johnny said [G] devil just come [Eb] on back if you ever want to try [G] again.
And I told you what you son of a bitch [Bb] I'm the best there ever been.
And he [D] took his bow and ran to the ballroom.
[C] Living in the house of the rising sun.
