Listen and I'll tell you a tale about a man

Lived long ago in a magical land 

Made himself a fiddle with a bow just right 
                          Bb         G 
Played all morning and he played all night 


 
     C                              G 
They sang and they fiddled and they danced every tune 
      D                           F          G 
From 'Hey Diddle, Diddle' to 'The Cow In The Moon'

verse 2: 

One sad day when the man was gone 
                               F     C G/B  
Along came a liar with a lying song 
Am7    G 
Said, "Come along with me to a sweet, sweet land" 
                           Bb       G 
The fiddle said "Yes" and away they ran 


verse 3: 
C                    G 
When they got to the house of the liar 
     D                       F         G 
They found their host with a burning desire 
   C                        G 
He dragged them down in the flame and the fire 
       F   N.C.       (C)            (G) G 
What a hot time in the house of the liar 


verse 4: 

When the man came back and he found them gone 
                                            F     C G/B Am7 
He went looking for the liar with the lying song 
G 
Swapped all he had for the fiddle and bow 
                               Bb          G 
Tucked them in his arms and he took 'em on home 


     C                              G 
They sang and they fiddled and they danced every tune 
      D                           F          G 
From 'Hey Diddle, Diddle' to 'The Cow In The Moon' 
     C              G 
From 1:00pm till an hour past noon 
         F                C           G 
From the day after May to just before June

VERSE 5: 

That's all there is to the tale of the man 
                    Bb      G 
Lived long ago in a magical land 

The fiddle and the bow that were twice his own 
                                     Bb          G 
He made 'em and he bought 'em and he took 'em on home
