Verse 1
The (D minor) devil went down to Georgia,
he was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal
When he (D minor) came across this young man
sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said, "boy, let me tell you what" (C major) (A major)
"I (D minor) guess you didn't know it
but I'm a fiddle player too
And if you'd care to take a dare,
I'll make a bet with you
Now you (D minor) play a pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you" (A major) (C major)
The boy (D minor) said, "my name's Johnny
and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret

Bridge 1
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been"
(D minor) Johnny, rosin up your bow
and (C major) play your fiddle hard
'Cause (G minor) Hell's broke loose in Georgia,
and the (D minor) devil deals the cards
And if you win,
you get this shiny (G minor) fiddle made of gold
But (A major) if you lose,
the devil gets your (A major) soul (G major) (F major) (E major)

Verse 2
The (D minor) devil opened up his case and he said,
"I'll start this show"
And fire flew from his fingertips
as he rosined up his bow
And he (D minor) pulled the bow across the strings
And it made a evil hiss
Then a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this (A major) (C major)

When the (D minor) devil finished, Johnny said,
"well, you're pretty good, ol' son
But sit down in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done"
(D major) "Fire on the Mountain" run boys, run
The (C major) devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
(D major) Chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough
(C major) Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no

Verse 4
The (D minor) devil bowed his head
because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle
on the ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny (D minor) said, "Devil, just come on back
if you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch,
I'm the best that's ever been"
He played (D major) "Fire on the Mountain"
run boys, run
The (C major) devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
(D major) Chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough
(C major) Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no
