Key: C

Introduction:

             C                                                                                 F                              C  
When I was just a kid I'd go to town on Saturday
                             F                         C                                 D7                                         G7  
And on the street I'd listen to the old blind fiddler play
C                                                                                      F                                      C  
He was close to no one though his life was almost gone
                  F            C                                                              G7                                            C  
But to me he was my friend and always played such pretty songs
                                                                                                F                                              C  
People dropped their nickels in his cup as they walked by
                          F                    C                            D7                                            G7  
Sometimes he would play so sad yet I just have to cry
C                                                                              F                                         C  
Then one day I went to town to hear the old man play
                             F                    C                              G7                                            C  
But he was gone and someone said the old man passed away
                                                        F                 C    F    G7  
I can still hear him playing
          C                                                 F  
And when people stop to listen
                        G7                                                                                    C  
He would say God walked beside you all the way
                     F                                 G7                                         C  
And I'd listen to the old blind fiddler play
                                                                             F                                            C  
A week or so ago one night I had the strangest dream
                                F                 C                              D7                                    G7  
I dreamed I went to heaven and I heard a million strings
C                                                                                              F                                         C  
And standing there I heard the music blow from heaven sky
                                                             F            C                                    G7                            C  
And for the first time in my life I saw the color of his eyes
                                                                     F                 C    F    G7  
And I can still hear them playing
          C                                                    F  
And he shook my hand and told me
G7                                                                              C  
Son I knew we'd meet again some day
                        F                                            G7                                         F  G7  C  
And once again I heard the old blind fiddler pl-a-y
