Second Fiddle Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Te- re- te- re- re- na
[Em]Da- da- du- [D]du- [Em]da
Te- re- te- re- re- na

[Verse 2]
[Em]The[C][B]
[Em]angels got together in the
great throne room
Thought they'd pass [B]some time
by pickin' a tune
Mi[D]chael on guitar,
Raphael on mandolin
[Am]And Gabe was the leader on the old viol[A]in

[Verse 3]
I [Em]think it was an elder said,
"What you gonna play
Amaz[B]ing Grace or how 'bout
Happy Day"?

[Verse 4]
The [D]strings were all tuned, and
they were tappin' their feet
But just [A]when they were ready
to play [Am]the first beat
[C]God walked through the door,
and a hush [G]filled the air
Gab[Am]riel put down his bow
and moved [B]down to second chair

[Verse 5]
It's not a [Em]bill that's up to be voted on
It be[Am]came a law when He
wrote it in stone
Number [D]one in the list of his [B]big ten
He [Em]came to earth, he [B]said it again

[Verse 6]
It's been the [Em]same way since
the beginning of time
Don't [Am]be fooled into thinking
that it's not a crime
He made it [D]plain and clear,
it's not a [B]rhyme or a [Em]riddle, no- no
[C]God don't [B]play second
fiddle
[Em][C]

[Verse 7]
[B][Bm][B]
[Em]I once knew a man who was
climbin' the ladder
His [B]portfolio was all that mattered
He [D]made lots of cash,
didn't give much away
His very best [Am]friend was [Em]his CPA, a beautiful wife,
two girls, and a boy
[B]But his IRA was his pride and joy

[Verse 8]
His [D]own net worth became divine
[Em]At the altar[A] of hi[Am]s bot
[A]tom line (ahh)
Then, the [C]market turned and his
bank account [G]ran dry
[B]Betra[G]yed by his[Am] money god,
he just hung his head and [B]cried

[Verse 9]
[Em]It's not a bill that's up to be voted on
It be[Am]came a law when He
wrote it in stone
Number [D]one in the list of his [B]big ten
He [Em]came to earth,
he [B]said it again

[Verse 10]
It's been the [Em]same way since
the beginning of time
Don't [Am]be fooled into thinking
that it's not a crime
He made it [D]plain and clear,
it's not a [B]rhyme or a [Em]riddle, oh no
[C]God don't [B]play second fiddle
[Em][C]

[Verse 11]
[Bm]
[B]No [Em]compr[D]omise,[B] no way that[Em],
he'll concede
(No compromise, no way that,
he'll [Am]concede)
If He's gonna play at all
(if He's gonna play at all)
It's just [B]got to be the [Bm]lead
[B]So, let him[Em] play,
[B]
[D]let [A]him play[Am]
[C][G]
[Am]
Oh- [B]oh- oh- oh, oh- oh- oh- oh
It's [E]not [F#m]a bill that's
up to be voted on
It be[Bm]came a law when He
wrote it in stone
Number [E]one in the list of his [C#]big ten
He [F#m]came to earth,
he [C#]said it again

[Verse 12]
It's been the [F#m]same way since
the beginning of time
[B]Don't [Bm]be fooled into thinking that it's not
a crime (don't be fooled)
He made it [E]plain and clear,
it's not a [C#]rhyme or a [F#m]riddle
[D]God don't [C#]play
[Bm]God don't [C#sus4]play second[C#] fiddle
[F#m]Oh,[D][C#]
oh!
