VERSE:
     D MajorD  A augmentedA     G+G        D MajorD
Country music  was the backbone of his life
        A augmentedA
Any song you choose it,
      G+G      D MajorD
He?d play anything you liked.
      A augmentedA
Most every evening,
      G+G       A augmentedA
You could find me by his side.
      B minorBm         E minorEm     A augmentedA
Where I?d lend the third part harmony to mom and dad?s duets.
    B minorBm       E minorEm         A augmentedA
Unill lullabies hung from my eyes and I wandered off to bed.


CHORUS:
  D MajorD       C majorC       G+G    A augmentedA
And I can see my mother in this country home
     D MajorD       C majorC        G+G
I got a sister and two brothers all my own
    D MajorD       C majorC     G+G    A augmentedA
And believe me family unity was ever so strong
     D MajorD        C majorC   G+G
When I heard my father?s fiddle play,
   A augmentedA        D MajorD
Some good old country songs.
          C majorC   G+G
(When my father?s fiddle played)
   A augmentedA        D MajorD
Some good old country songs.
          C majorC   G+G
(When my father?s fiddle played)

VERSE:
     D MajorD    A augmentedA         G+G        D MajorD
Country neighbors,  they say that he?s the best around
        A augmentedA
To play their favorites
     G+G        D MajorD           A augmentedA
At every Friday night hoe-down, and late in the evening
     G+G         A augmentedA
With the neighbors homeward bound
   B minorBm        E minorEm      A augmentedA
His closings were as customary as turning out the lights
  B minorBm       E minorEm    A augmentedA
A majorA quarter for my pocket, a love song for his wife.


CHORUS:
  D MajorD       C majorC       G+G    A augmentedA
And I can see my mother in this country home
     D MajorD       C majorC        G+G
I got a sister and two brothers all my own
    D MajorD       C majorC     G+G    A augmentedA
And believe me family unity was ever so strong
     D MajorD        C majorC   G+G
When I heard my father?s fiddle play,
   A augmentedA        D MajorD
Some good old country songs.
          C majorC   G+G
(When my father?s fiddle played)
        A augmentedA        D MajorD
Some of those good old country songs.
          C majorC   G+G
(When my father?s fiddle played)

BREAK:
A augmentedA    B minorBm           F# minorF#m
Ah, but where oh where has the time gone?
      G+G       A augmentedA       B minorBm
It?s been years since my ears have been played upon.
               A augmentedA      G+G
I heard the fiddler lost his tune in some bar room
     A augmentedA                  B minorBm
And his family?s to another town, it must be lonesome
    E minorEm        A augmentedA
Wishing all the lost and somehow find you now

          C majorC         G+G
When I heard him, playing, playing, playing on,
   A augmentedA         D MajorD
Some good old country songs
         C majorC   G+G  A augmentedA    D MajorD
When I heard his fiddle play, hey-heeey,

That fiddle when he?d play, some good old country songs.
          C majorC   G+G

 A augmentedA         D MajorD
Awe, some country songs,
