'Cherokee Fiddle' by Johnny Lee - Guitar Tutorial
Gtp chords: Cherokee Fiddle
Song lyrics:
G C When the train pulled into the station D D# Em D# He'd open up his case and resin up his bow G C He'd play upside down the Orange Blossom Special D7 G Cause if you want to make a living you've got to put on a good show Em G And when he'd smell the smoke and the cinders Em Am D7 He'd slick back his hair, and open up his case G C He'd play the Cherokee Fiddle, he'd play it for the whiskey D7 G Cause good whiskey never let him lose his place G C He was always there, playing for the miners D D# Em D# The Devil's Dream was a song they understood G C And then he'd go out to Oklahoma D7 G But he'd wait till the trains were running and the weather was good Em G And when he'd smell the smoke and the cinders Em Am D7 He'd slick back his hair, and open up his case G C He'd play the Cherokee Fiddle, he'd play it for the whiskey D7 G Cause good whiskey never let him lose his place INSTRUMENTAL: G C D D# Em D# G C D7 G G C Now the Indians are dressing up like cowboys D D# Em D# And the cowboys are putting leather and turquoise on G C And the music is sold by lawyers D7 G And the fools who fiddled in the middle of the stations are gone Em G Some folks say they'll never miss it Em Am D7 That old fiddle squealed like the Indian race G C The Cherokee Fiddle is gone forever D7 G Like the music of the whistle that the old locomotives made Em G So when you smell the smoke and the cinders Em Am D7 Slick back your hair, and open up your case G C Play the Cherokee Fiddle, you can play it for the whiskey D D# Em D# Good whiskey will never let you lose your place G D7 G Good whiskey will never let you lose your place Em D# G C G D7 G Good whiskey will never let you lose your place
