🎸 Verse 1:
C
The scene is a barroom a second rate dive
                                G
The address is third street and vine
G
And I make the music to bring out the flavor
                           C
Of cigarettes laughter and wine
 C
My sweetheart she's dancing with some total stranger
    C7                        F
I'm singing this song from my heart
                           C          A7
While I make the music for honky tonk people
    F           G           C    C7
I'm watching my world fall apart

F
I have a riddle listen my fiddle
                                  C
Playing the music she loves so to hear

Forgotten I know is the man with the bow

While I play the fiddle

I'm watching my world disappear

C
My love for the dancing
C
Is almost as strong as her love
                G
For the music I play
G
But she could not live in the gardens and flowers
                                  C
So here's where she's happy we'll stay
C
The scene is a barroom a second rate dive
   C7                    F
On stage is a honky tonk sound
                                 C          A7
I'm the one in the middle with a honky tonk fiddle
F           G            C
Watching my world tumble down

🎸 Chorus:
F
I'm in the middle listen my fiddle
                                       C
It's playing the music she loves so to hear

Forgotten I know is the man with the bow
G
While I play the fiddle
                           C
I'm watching my world disappear

I have a riddle listen my fiddle

While I play the fiddle

I'm watching my world disappear
