[Verse 1]
The devil [Am]went down to George,
he was looking for his soul to steal.
He was in a bind
cause he was way behind
and he willing to make a deal.
When he came across
this young man
sawn on a fiddle and playing it hot.
And the devil jumped up
on a hickory stump
and said, boy let me tell you what
[E]I g[Am]uess you didn't know it
but I'm a fiddle player too
and if you 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
because I think I'm better than you
[E]the [Am]boy said my name's Johnny
and it might be a sin
but I'll take your bet
and you're gonna regret
because I'm the best has ever been
[G]Johnny [Am]rising up your bow
and [G]play a fiddle hard
because [Dm]hell's broke loose in Georgia
and the [Am]devil deals the cards,
but if you win you get this
shiny [Dm]fiddle made of gold,
[D]but if [E]you lose,
the devil gets your [Am]soul.

[E]The [A]devil ope[Am]ned 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 that bow
across the strings and it
Made in evil, yes,
and a band of demons joined in
Sounded something like [G]this[Am][D][Am]

The devil finished
Johnny said you're pretty good old son,
but sit down in that chair right there let
me show you how it's [A]done.
Fire in the mouth and my boys run.
[G]Devils in the house and the
rising sun.
[A]Chickens in the bread pan
picking [G]outdoors.[Am][G][Am][G]
The devil [Am]bowed [G]his[E] he[Am]ad,
[A]because he knew that he'd been beat
[Am]And [A]he laid that gold fiddle
on the ground [Am]at Johnny's feet
Johnny said, devil,
just come on back
if you ever want to try again
I done told you once, you son of a gun,
I'm the best that's ever been
[E]He [A]played fire in the mountain,
run, boys, run
The devil's [G]in the house
of the rising sun
Chicken's [A]in the bread pan,
pickin' out dough
[G]Ready when you're done,
right, no child, no
No child, [Am]no[G][Am][G]
