Seals And Crofts - Fiddle In The Sky
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO:   C   G    C  G  
SomeAmtimes in the Em/Gmiddle of the Flonely CnightF  
No one there to be his CfriendAm  
He'd grab the Em/Gfiddle and he'd Fhold it CtightF  
The angels there would gather 'Cround himF  
And he would play all through the CnightF  
He would play all through the CnightF  
He would Dmplay 'til everyEmthing seemed alEright
And I Amcried every Em/Gtime that I Fwatched him Cplay, lordF  
He really had something to CsayF  
And I watched him steal aCway
He Ambuilt himself a Em/Gcabin at the Ffoot of a ChillF  
He never knew the city Cstreet
He Amnever had much Em/Gmoney, never Fneeded a CwillF  
All he had was one old CfiddleF  
And he passed it down to CmeF  
And he passed it down to CmeF  
So I'll Dmplay it, for the Emworld seems alEright
Gonna Amplay 'til the Em/Gangels Fdance in the Csky, lordF  
I'll play this fiddle 'til I CdieF  
I'll play this fiddle 'til I CdieF  
I'll play this fiddle 'til I CdieF  
I'll play this fiddle in the CskyF  
OUTRO:  (lengthy fiddle break)

Seals And Crofts - Fiddle In The Sky

CAPO: 4th Fret

C G C G

INTRO:

Am Em/G F C F

Sometimes in the middle of the lonely night

C Am

No one there to be his friend

Em/G F C F

He'd grab the fiddle and he'd hold it tight

C F

The angels there would gather 'round him

C F

And he would play all through the night

C F

He would play all through the night

Dm Em E

He would play 'til everything seemed alright

Am Em/G F C F

And I cried every time that I watched him play, lord

C F

He really had something to say

And I watched him steal away

Am Em/G F C F

He built himself a cabin at the foot of a hill

He never knew the city street

Am Em/G F C F

He never had much money, never needed a will

C F

All he had was one old fiddle

C F

And he passed it down to me

C F

And he passed it down to me

Dm Em E

So I'll play it, for the world seems alright

Am Em/G F C F

Gonna play 'til the angels dance in the sky, lord

C F

I'll play this fiddle 'til I die

C F

I'll play this fiddle 'til I die

C F

I'll play this fiddle 'til I die

C F

I'll play this fiddle in the sky
