[Verse]
                       D      
The Devil went down to Georgia
                             D    
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
                                   D     
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
D                                
And he was willin' to make a deal
                               D  
When he came across this young man
D                                    
Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
                            D            
And the Devil jumped upon a hickory stump
                             Dm  
And said Boy let me tell you what
                                                   D  
I guess you didn't know it but I'm a fiddle player too
                          D                              
And if you'd care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you
                         D                                    
Now you play pretty good fiddle boy but give the Devil his due
                                  D        
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
               Dm              A7 
'cause I think I'm better than you


[Chorus]
Dm                                              D  
The boy said My name's Johnny and it might be a sin
                                    D     
But I'll take your bet you're gonna regret
                                     D   
'cause I am the best that's ever has been
D7              Dm       C7       G7          C7  
Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
              Gm                             Dm                   
'cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cards
                       D7                        Gm  
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
       A                            A7  
But if you lose the devil gets your soul
Dm C Dm Bb Dm
        


[Verse]
                 D                                           
The Devil opened up his case and he said I'll start this show
                   D                                      
And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow
                      D                                         
And he pulled the bow across the strings and it made a evil hiss
              D7                                                 
And a band of demons joined in and it sounded somethin' like this
D Dm Dm7 D7 F7 Am Am7 F7
                


[Chorus]
Am7 G7 D7 G7 Am Dm7 Am Gm
                 
C Dm Am7 Dm D
        
         D             
When the Devil finished
                        Dm              D  
Johnny said Well you're pretty good ol' son
        D                             
But sit down in that chair right there
           D                     
And let me show you how it's done
     D                           
Fire on the Mountain run boys run
    C                                     
The Devil's in the house of the risin' sun
D                                         
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough
C                                    
Granny does your dog bite No child no


[Solo]

[Verse]
                D                                           
The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
D                                                            
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet
D                                                              
Johnny said Devil just come on back if you ever wanna try again
  D                                    
I done told you once you son of a bitch
                                 D     
I'm the best that's ever been he played


[Chorus]
                              D  
Fire on the Mountain run boys run
C                                         
The Devil's in the house of the risin' sun
D                                             
The chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough
C                                    
Granny will your dog bite No child no
