Chords

[Intro] F F C A F G C C [Verse 1]

C
The scene is a barroom a second rate dive

                                G
The address is third street and vine

G
And I make the music to bring out the flavor

                           C
Of cigarettes laughter and wine

 C
My sweetheart she's dancing with some total stranger

    C7                        F
I'm singing this song from my heart

                           C          A7
While I make the music for honky tonk people

    F           G           C    C7
I'm watching my world fall apart

[Chorus]

F
I have a riddle listen my fiddle

                                  C
Playing the music she loves so to hear

   G
Forgotten I know is the man with the bow

While I play the fiddle

                           C
I'm watching my world disappear

[Solo] F F C A F G C C [Verse 2]

C
My love for the dancing

C
Is almost as strong as her love

                G
For the music I play

G
But she could not live in the gardens and flowers

                                  C
So here's where she's happy we'll stay

C
The scene is a barroom a second rate dive

   C7                    F
On stage is a honky tonk sound

                                 C          A7
I'm the one in the middle with a honky tonk fiddle

F           G            C
Watching my world tumble down

[Chorus]

F
I'm in the middle listen my fiddle

                                       C
It's playing the music she loves so to hear

   G
Forgotten I know is the man with the bow

G
While I play the fiddle

                           C
I'm watching my world disappear

[Outro]

F
I have a riddle listen my fiddle

                                  C
Playing the music she loves so to hear

   G
Forgotten I know is the man with the bow

While I play the fiddle

                           C
I'm watching my world disappear
