[Bm] [A]
[D]
There's two nails in the wall, above [G] the door in [D] the hall, where dad's old fiddle hung for [A] twenty years.
[Em] I [D] recall as just a boy [G] how my heart would [D] beat with joy when daddy would play [A] the song
I [D] loved to hear.
And [Am] daddy [G] would play.
[D]
[A]
[D]
Daddy never left us any will, telling [G] us what [D] he'd give.
But everybody knew his fiddle was [A] mine.
But [D] the fiddle was all he left, so [G] I had to teach [D] myself.
And I bet I played his [A]
song [D] a million times.
And I would [G] play.

[A]
[D]
Well, if dad could see me now, [G] oh, I know that he'd [D] be proud to hear his old fiddle
played [A] once again.
[D] But maybe it won't be long [G] till I join him in a [D]
song, and together we'll play [A] this song [D] once again.
And then [G] we'll play.
