Chords with lyrics

When I was just a kid I'd go to town on Saturday

      FF     C majorC       D7D7        G7G7
And on the street I'd listen to the old blind fiddler play

C majorC                 FF        C majorC
He was close to no one though his life was almost gone

    FF   C majorC            G7G7         C majorC
But to me he was my friend and always played such pretty songs


                  FF         C majorC
People dropped their nickels in his cup as they walked by

     FF    C majorC      D7D7         G7G7
Sometimes he would play so sad yet I just have to cry

C majorC               FF        C majorC
Then one day I went to town to hear the old man play

      FF    C majorC      G7G7         C majorC
But he was gone and someone said the old man passed away

           FF    C majorC FF G7G7
I can still hear him playing

  C majorC          FF
And when people stop to listen

     G7G7                C majorC
He would say God walked beside you all the way

    FF       G7G7        C majorC
And I'd listen to the old blind fiddler play


               FF         C majorC
A augmentedA week or so ago one night I had the strangest dream

      FF    C majorC      D7D7       G7G7
I dreamed I went to heaven and I heard a million strings

C majorC                  FF        C majorC
And standing there I heard the music blow from heaven sky

            FF   C majorC       G7G7      C majorC
And for the first time in my life I saw the color of his eyes


             FF    C majorC FF G7G7
And I can still hear them playing

  C majorC          FF
And he shook my hand and told me

G7G7               C majorC
Son I knew we'd meet again some day

     FF         G7G7        FF G7G7 C majorC
And once again I heard the old blind fiddler pl-a-y
