Intro 1
(G major)
Verse 1
Nero (G major) plays his pedal
while Rome burns,
it's history so they (D major) say.
I (G major) can see old Nero
play his big foot
tap (D major) ping away (G major)
While the (C major) flames grew high
and the (G major) city fell
It burned down to the (D major) ground
Ner (G major) o played his fiddle
while Rome burned
He wouldn't let (D major) it (G major) down (D major) (G major)
Some folks like their music mild,
played in a mellow way (D major)
Some (G major) like the tune so sweet and low
So they can swing (D major) and (G major) sway
I (C major) like the tune a (G major) band can play
And give it all they've (D major) got
Ner (G major) o played his fiddle
a while longer
He liked his mu (D major) sic (G major) hot (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
The hero played his fiddle while
Rome burned a glitter in his (D major) eye
No (G major) one could put the bid far out,
old hero did (D major) n't try (G major)
But the (C major) flames grew higher
and the (G major) city fell
He watched it crumble down (D major)
Ner (G major) o played his fiddle
while Rome burned
He wouldn't (D major) let down
