[Verse 1]
The [Dm]devil went down to Georgia,
he was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal
When he [Dm]came across this young man
sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said, "boy, let me tell you [C]what"[A]
"I [Dm]guess you didn't know it
but I'm a fiddle player too
And if you'd care to take a dare,
I'll make a bet with you
Now [Dm]you play a pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than [A]you"[C]
The [Dm]boy said, "my name's Johnny
and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret

[Bridge 1]
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been"
[Dm]Johnny, rosin up your bow
and [C]play your fiddle hard
'Cause [Gm]Hell's broke loose in Georgia,
and the [Dm]devil deals the cards
And if you win,
you get this shiny [Gm]fiddle made of gold
But [A]if you lose,
the devil gets your [A]soul[G][F][E]

[Verse 2]
The [Dm]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 [Dm]pulled the bow across the strings
And it made a evil hiss
Then a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like [A]this[C]

[Verse 3]
When the [Dm]devil finished, Johnny said,
"well, you're pretty good, ol' son
But sit down in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done"
[D]"Fire on the Mountain" run boys, run
The [C]devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
[D]Chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough
[C]Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no

[Verse 4]
The [Dm]devil bowed his head
because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle
on the ground at Johnny's feet
[Dm]Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back
if you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch,
I'm the best that's ever been"
He played [D]"Fire on the Mountain"
run boys, run
The [C]devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
[D]Chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough
[C]Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no
