Cherokee Fiddle Johnny Lee
[////] [////] [////] [////] [////] [////] [////] [////]When the [D]train pulled into the [G]station
He'd open up his [A]case[Bb] and resin up his [Bm]bow[Bb]
He'd play upside [D]down the Orange Blossom [G]Special
Cause if you [A7]want to make a living you've got to put on a good [D]show
And when he'd [Bm]smell the smoke and the [D]cinders
He'd slick back his [Bm]hair, and open up his [Em]case[A7]
He'd play the Cherokee [D]Fiddle, he'd play it for the [G]whiskey
Cause good [A7]whiskey never let him lose his [D]place
He was always [D]there, playing for the [G]miners
The Devil's [A]Dream was a [Bb]song they under[Bm]stood[Bb]
And then he'd [D]go out to Okla[G]homa
But he'd [A7]wait till the trains were running and the weather was [D]good
And when he'd [Bm]smell the smoke and the [D]cinders
He'd slick back his [Bm]hair, and open up his [Em]case[A7]
He'd play the Cherokee [D]Fiddle, he'd play it for the [G]whiskey
Cause good [A7]whiskey never let him lose his [D]place
INSTRUMENTAL (Like a verse)
[D] [G] [A] [Bb] [Bm] [Bb] [////] [////] [////] [////] [////] [////] [////] [////] [D] [G] [A7] [D] [////] [////] [////] [////] [////] [////] [////] [////]Now the [D]Indians are dressing up like [G]cowboys
And the [A]cowboys are putting [Bb]leather and turquoise [Bm]on[Bb]
And the [D]music is sold by [G]lawyers
And the [A7]fools who fiddled in the middle of the stations are [D]gone
Some folks [Bm]say they'll never [D]miss it
That old fiddle [Bm]squealed like the Indian [Em]race[A7]
The Cherokee [D]Fiddle is gone [G]forever
Like the [A7]music of the whistle that the old locomotives [D]made
So when you [Bm]smell the smoke and the [D]cinders
Slick back your [Bm]hair, and open up your [Em]case[A7]
Play the Cherokee [D]Fiddle, you can play it for the [G]whiskey
Good [A]whiskey will never [Bb]let you lose your [Bm]place[Bb]
Good [D]whiskey will never [A7]let you lose your [D]place
[Bm] [Bb] [D] [G] [////] [////] [////] [////] Good [D]whiskey will never [A7]let you lose your [D]place
