[Verse 1]
    D5
The devil went down to Georgia,
he was looking for a soul to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind: he was willin'
to make a deal
When he came across this young man playin' that fiddle and
playin' it hot
And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Boy
                C5
let me tell you what:
   D5
"I bet 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 play a pretty good fiddle, boy,
but give the devil his due:
I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul,
                               C5
'cause I think I'm better than you"
    D5
The boy said: "My name's Johnny and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret,
'cause I'm the best that's ever been"

[Chorus]
D5
Johnny,
                      C5
rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
       G5                                    D5
'Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals
the cards
    D5                            C5
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
    A5
But if you lose,
the devil gets your soul
D5 C5 D5 C5 Bb5 A5

[Verse 2]
G5 F5
C5    D5
  The 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 pulled the bow across his strings and it made an
evil hiss
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something
like this

         D5
When the devil finished,
Johnny said: "Well you're pretty good ol' son
Just sit down in that chair, right there,
let me show you how it's done"
D5
Fire on the mountain, run boys, run
C5
The devil's in the house of the risin' sun
D5
Chicken in the bread pin,
pickin' out dough
C5
"Granny, does your dog bite?" "No, child,
no"

[Verse 4]
    D5
The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been
beat
He laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny said: "Devil just come on back if you ever want to
try again
I told you once, you son of a bitch,
I'm the best that's ever been"
D5
Fire on the mountain, run boys, run
C5
The devil's in the house of the risin' sun
D5
Chicken in the bread pin,
pickin' out dough
C5
"Granny, does your dog bite?" "No, child,
no"
