[Verse 1]
C F G C
Oh once upon a time in Arkansas
G G G G
An old man sat in his little cabin door
C F G C
And fiddled at a tune that he liked to hear
C F G C
A jolly old tune that he played by ear
[Chorus]
C F C G
It was raining hard but the fiddler didn't care
C F C G
He sawed away at the popular air
C F C G
Though his rooftop leaked like a waterfall
C F G C
That didn't seem to bother the old man at all
[INSTRUMENTAL VERSE AND CHORUS]
[Verse 2]
C F G C
A traveler was riding by that day
G G G G
And stopped to hear him a-fiddling away
C F G C
The cabin was afloat and his feet were wet
C F G C
But still the old man didn't seem to fret
[Chorus]
C F C G
So the stranger said Now the way it seems to me
C F C G
You'd better mend your roof said he
C F C G
But the old man said as he played away
C F G C
I couldn't mend it now it's a rainy day
[Verse 3]
C F G C
The traveler replied that's all quite true
G G G G
But this I think is the thing for you to do
C F G C
Get busy on a day that is fair and bright
C F G C
Then patch the old roof till it's good and tight
[Chorus]
C F C G
But the old man kept on a-playing at his reel
C F C G
And tapped the ground with his leathery heel
C F C G
Get along said he for you give me a pain
C F G C
My cabin never leaks when it doesn't rain
[INSTRUMENTAL VERSE AND CHORUS]
I think this video is 90 BPM sI prefer it at 80% (72 BPM) which hoses the quality nut anyway...
