The Old Blind Fiddler chords by David Houston
Verse 1
D
A
D
When I was just a kid,
G
D
I'd go to town on Saturday
G
D
And on the street I'd listen to
E
A
the old blind fiddler play
D
He was close to no one,
G
D
though his life was almost gone
G
D
But to me he was my friend
A
and always played such
D
Bb
pretty songs
Eb
People dropped their nickels in his cup
Ab
Eb
as they walked by
Ab
Eb
Sometimes he would play so sad
F
Bb
that I just had to cry
Eb
And then one day I went to town
Ab
Eb
to hear the old man play
Ab
Eb
But he was gone and someone said
Bb
Eb
the old man passed away
Ab
Eb
Ab
Bb
And I can still hear him playing
Eb
Ab
And when people stopped to listen,
Bb
he would say,
Eb
God walked beside you all the way.
Ab
Bb
Eb
C
And I'd listen to the old blind fiddler play.
F
A week or so ago one night
Bb
F
I had the strangest dream.
Bb
F
I dreamed I went to heaven
G
C
and I heard a million strings
Dm
C
F
And standing there
I heard the music flow
Bb
F
from heaven's skies
Bb
F
For the first time in my life
Dm
C
F
I saw the color of his eyes
Dm
F
And I can still hear them
Bb
F
Bb
C
playing
F
Bb
Then he shook my hand and told me
C
Son, I knew we'd meet again someday
F
Bb
And once again I heard
C
the old blind fiddler play.
