And the devil jumped up on him, he go [Bb] east up and said,
Boy, let me tell [B] you what!
[A] 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.

I'm gonna fiddle you gold, and get your soul [E] cause I think I'm better than you.
[Am] The boy said, My name's Johnny, and it might be a sin,
But I take that bet and you're gonna regret cause I'm the best there's ever been.
[Eb] Now you're rising up, you're [G] growing, play your fiddle hard.

And fire flew from his fingertips as he rising up his bow.
And he pulled the bow across the strings [Am] and it made an evil hiss.
