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



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



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


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


INSTRUMENTAL:  D  C  G     D  C  G


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


CHORUS:
    D                C         G         A
And I can see my mother, she lives all alone
         D               C                        G
I got a sister and two brothers but they're all grown
        D             C         G         A
And believe me family unity was ever so strong
         D                C      G         A                D
When I heard my father?s fiddle play some good old country songs.

                    C      G                   A                 D
(Heard my father?s fiddle play) some of those good old country songs.
                   C                 G
When I heard him, playing, playing, playing on,
      A                 D
Some good old country songs
                  C      G   A       D
When I heard his fiddle play,  hey-heeey,
      C                G          A                D
That fiddle when he'd play, some good old country songs.
                   C      G
(When my father?s fiddle played)
 A                 D
Awe, some country songs,
                   C      G
(When my father?s fiddle played)
 G                     A                 D
How I just love those good old country songs.
                   C      G     A

  D                 C      G
