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
