Verse 1
(C major) Woman don't (F major) (C major) cry and ask me why my
fin (G major) gers always itch to play the (C major) fiddle
Or why it seems I sometimes
love the mu (G major) sic
and my fiddle more than (C major) you
I'm just a mortal man
and I don't know the answer to
God's rhymes or (F major) riddles
But (C major) something's pulling me to go
And (G major) pull the horse hair like I used to (C major) do
So wo (F major) man, don't ask me
why the good Lord
Chose to bless me with my devil's (C major) elbow
You (F major) might as well be (C major) talking to
The rods and the rope on my fiddle
bow (G major) (F major) (C major)
(A minor) (C major) (G major) (C major)
Don't ask me how I make my fiddles,
(G major) sigh or cry or sing at my own (C major) bidding
Don't
Or how, why, where you failed to (G major) break
the spell that always held it (C major) for me
When I am laid beneath the sun,
I hope God lets me take
my music (F major) with me
Yeah, they (C major) say hell's full of fiddlers,
but I nev (G major) er cared much for that melody (C major)
So, (F major) woman, don't ask me
why the poor blood
chose to bless me with my devil's (C major) help
You might (F major) as well be talk (C major) ing to the rosin
I rub on my bitter bow (G major)
Oh, (F major) ask the eagles why they fly
and why gods sometimes paint
their skies with (C major) rainbows (A minor)
But wo (C major) man, don't ask me
why the good Lord chose (G major)
To bless me with my devil's
(C major) jubble (G major) (C major)
Don't try to reach inside
my mind and quench
(G major) A spark that starts my
fingers itch (C major) in'
Don't waste your mind
wonderin' why I stir
(G major) Such warm emotions in your (C major) soul
Just be content to lather
Spending memories of the joy
that you shared (F major) with me
For your heartstrings (C major) just
ain't strong enough
To break (G major) the horsehair on my fiddle bow (C major)
So wo (F major) man, don't ask me
why the good Lord
chose to bless me with my devil's (C major) joe
You might (F major) as well be talking (C major) to the rosin
I rub on my fiddle bow (G major)
Go ask (F major) the eagle why they fly
and why gods sometimes paint
their skies with rain (C major) bow (A minor)
But a (C major) woman gonna ask me
why the good Lord
chose (G major) to bless me with my
devil's (C major) love
