Verse 1
D 
Em 
My  (D major) old mama had a rounder  (E minor) soul
A 
 (A major) He'd hear an old freight train,
D 
then  (D major) he'd have to go
Said he'd been born with
Em 
a  (E minor) gypsy's bow
A 
That's  (A major) the reason,
D 
I guess, he  (D major) was cursed
He came into town,
Em 
back before  (E minor) the war
A 
Didn't  (A major) even know what it was
D 
he  (D major) was searching for
Em 
Carried a tottered bike for his  (E minor) violin
A 
 (A major) Full of lots of songs,
D 
places  (D major) that he'd been
He talked really easy,
Em 
he'd just  (E minor) smile and wave
A 
To  (A major) pass along to you,
D 
when  (D major) his fiddle played
Till the people there
Em 
began to join  (E minor) that sound
A 
 (A major) And everyone in town
D 
was laughing,  (D major) singing, dancing round
Like the fiddler's tune
Em 
was all they'd  (E minor) heard that night
A 
 (A major) As if some dream had said
D

Em 
His fiddler's eye caught one  (E minor) beauty there
A 
She  (A major) had that rollin',
D 
flowin',  (D major) golden kind
He played for her as if she
Em 
danced  (E minor) alone
A 
Played  (A major) his favourite songs,
D 
the  (D major) ones he called his own
Em 
He played until she was the  (E minor) last to go
A 
 (A major) Stopped and packed his bag,
D 
said  (D major) he'd take her home
And all the nights have passed,
Em 
A 
a  (E minor) child was born  (A major) 
All the years have passed,
D 
a  (D major) love to keep them warm
And all their lives they shared
Em 
a  (E minor) dream come true
A 
D 
 (A major) Just because she danced so well,  (D major) 
his fiddle tune
Em 
My old man had a  (E minor) rounder's soul
A 
He'd  (A major) hear an old freight train,
D 
 (D major) then he'd have to go
Said he'd been born with
Em 
a  (E minor) gypsy's bone
A 
That's  (A major) the reason, I guess,
D 
Em 
A 
he  (D major) was cursed to roam  (E minor)  (A major)
