[Intro 1]
[D][G][C][G][D][G][C]
[G][D][G][C][G][D][G]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
Way back [G]in [C]the mountains
[G]Way back in the hill[D]s
There [G]used to live [C]a mountaineer
[G]They called him Fiddlin' Will
He could play most [C]anything
And some [G]say he could sing
[D]But the one[G] thing that he liked
[C]to do best
Was saw[G]ing [D]on the string[G]s

[Verse 2]
[G]So, get out the fiddle
And rosin up the bow
Look at ol' Will a-pattin' [D]his his toe
[G]We'll make music till the [C]rafters ring
[G]All that pickin' and a sawin' on the [C]string
[G][D]

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G]
[C][G][D][G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
When the neighbors had [C]a shindig
And they [G]all had vittles to [D]eat
We'd [G]always have [C]to wait on Will
To make the [G]frolic [D]comple[G]te
When he comes down
from the [C]mountain
All the [G]gals began to [D]sway
Some[G]times he'd pick
that [C]ol' five-string
Until Un[G]til [D]the break [G]of day

[Verse 4]
So [G]tune up the five-string
Tighten Tighten up the hide
Tell all the hill folks to [D]get [G]inside[C]
[G]All them pickin' and a-sawing [D]on on the [G]string

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][D][G][C]
[G][C][G][D][G][C]
[G][D][G]

[Verse 5]
So tune up the five-string [G]Tighten
Tighten up the hide
Tell all the hill folks to [D]get [G]inside[C]
[G]All them pickin' and a-sawing on on the string

[Outro 1]
