The Devil Went Down to Georgia By: Charlie Daniels A thanks to [email protected] for providing the lyrics to this sizzling song! Violin solo to these chords on guitar: The devil went down to Georgia he was looking for a soul to steal He was in a bind cuz he was way behind he was willin' to make a deal When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot And the devil jumped apon a hickory stump and said boy let me tell you what I bet you didn't know it but I'm a fiddle player too And if you'd care to make a dare I'll make a bet with you Now you play a pretty good fiddle boy but give the devil his due I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul cuz I think I'm better than you The boy said my name's Johnny and it might be a sin But I'll take your bet your gonna regret cuz I'm the best that's ever been Johnny your rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard Cuz hells broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals it hard And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold But if you lose the devil gets your soul Violin solo: The 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 pulled the bow across his strings and it made an evil hiss Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this Devil Solo: When the devil finished Johnny said well you're pretty good ol' sun But sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how its done Fire on the mountain run boys run The devil's in the house of the risin' sun Chicken in the bread pin pickin' out dough Granny does your dog bite no child no Solo: The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat He laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet Johnny said devil just come on back if you ever want to try again 'Cause I told you once you son of a bitch I'm the best that's ever been And he played fire on the mountain run boys run the Devils in the house of the risin' sun Chicken in the bread pin pickin' out dough Granny does your dog bite no child no Outro solo
