When the train (D major) pulled into the (G major) station
Rolled up his (A major) sleeves,
(B flat major) and rosined up his (B minor) bow (B flat major)
Fiddle upside (D major) down,
orange blossom (G major) special
'Cause if you (A major) want to make a living
you got to put on a good (D major) show

When he'd (B minor) smell the smoke and the (D major) cinders
Slick back his (B minor) hair, opened up his (E minor) case (A major)

'Cause good (A major) whiskey
never let him lose his place (D major)

He was always (D major) there,
playing for the (G major) miners
Devil's (A major) dream
was a song (B flat major) they under (B minor) stood (B flat major)
Then he'd (D major) go out to Oklahoma (G major)
And he'd (A major) wait till the train was running
and the weather was good (D major)

he's playing for the (G major) whiskey
'Cause good (A major) whiskey
never let him lose his place (D major)

And the (A major) fools who fiddled
in the middle of the station have (D major) gone

Some folks (B minor) say
they ain't never gonna miss (D major) him
Old Fiddle (B minor) squealed

Just like the (A major) music of the whistle
that the old locomotives made (D major)

the smoke and the (D major) cinders

never (A major) let you lose your place (D major)
