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

but sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how it's done.

_ _ _ The devil bowed [D] his head because he knew that [D] 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 [F] son of a gun, I'm the best there's ever been.
[D] He played, fire on the mouth, run, boys, run. _
