The Devil Went Down to Georgia
By: Charlie Daniels
I thought I share with yall a great version of my favorite song of all time!
Listen to this first, Dm gets boring if you don t have the rhythm. Try appregateing it every so often
Violin solo to these chords on guitar:
;
[]The devil went down to Georgia
he was looking for a soul to steal
He was in a bind cuz he was way behind
he was willin to make a deal
When he came across this young man
sawin on a fiddle and playin it hot
And the devil jumped apon a hickory stump
and said boy let me tell you what[ ]
[]I bet you didn t know it
but I m a fiddle player too
And if you d care to make 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
cuz I think I m better than you[ ]
The boy said my name s Johnny
and it might be a sin
But I ll take your bet your gonna regret
cuz I m the best that s ever been
[]Johnny your rosin up your bow
and []play your fiddle hard
Cuz []hells broke loose in Georgia
and the []devil deals it hard
And if you win you get this shiny []fiddle made of gold
But []if you lose the devil gets your soul
[Violin Solo]
[]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[ ]
[Devil Solo]
(7 times) then
[]When the devil finished Johnny said
well you re pretty good ol sun
But sit down in that chair right there
and let me show you how its done
[]Fire on the mountain run boys run
[]The devil s in the house of the risin sun
[]Chicken in the bread pin pickin out dough
[]Granny does your dog bite no, child, no
[Solo]
[] [] []
[]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
Cause I told you once you son of a bitch
I m the best that s ever been
And he played []fire on the mountain run boys run
[]the Devils in the house of the risin sun
[]Chicken in the bread pin pickin out dough
[]Granny does your dog bite no child no
[Outro Solo]
