Well now the devil went [C] down to Georgia and he was looking for a soul [D] to steal.
He was in the vine because he [G] was way behind and he was willing to [F] make a deal.
When he came [A] across this young man, someone on the [G] fiddle and playing it hot, [Em] and the devil [B] jumped up on a hickory stump and said,
Boy, let me tell you [Am] what, you probably [Dm] did not even know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you care to take the dare, I'm gonna make a bet with you.
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but [Eb] let's give the devil this due.
I bet this fiddle of gold against your soul, and [F] it's like I'm better than you.
[D] Boy, I said, my name's Johnny and it might be a sin, but I'm gonna take that bet and you're going with Greg's, I'm the best [A] there's ever been.
[Dm] Johnny's rousing up the floor, [C] playing the fiddle hard.
I [G] was hustling from St.
Georgia and the [Dm] devil knew his card.
If you win, you get this [G] shiny fiddle made of gold.
[A] If you lose, the devil gets your soul.
[Dm] [C]
[Am] [D] The devil opened up his case and he said, I'll start this show on fire.
He pulled his fingertips, he was rousing up his bow.
And he pulled [Dm] his bow across the strings and it [G] made evil hiss.
And a [Em] band of demons joined in and it [Am] sounded something like this.

When the devil finished, Johnny said, you know, you're pretty [Dm] good, old son.
You flop [Eb] down in that chair right there.
I'm gonna show you how this stuff's [D] done.
I'm the man running, boy, running.
[C] Yeah, we're in the house of the rousing soul.
[D] Shooting through the red paint, picking out doors.
[C] Having a shit up, fighting no child no more.

Well, that old [Am] devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been [Eb] beat.
He laid that golden fiddle down on the ground [B] and Johnny's feet jumped.
The devil, [Em] he said, come on back here, I'm gonna try again.
And I told [B] you once, you son of a gun, I'm the fastest [G] ever band.
[D] I'm the man running, boy, running.
