He Plays The Violin

G                        A
Oh he never speaks his passions
     G                        B
He never speaks his views
               G                           A
Whereas other men speak volumes
        G                 B
The man I love is mute

     G                   A
In truth I can't recall
          G                A             B
Being wooed with words at all
         G
Even now

A

     G            A    B
He plays the violin
                          G             A
He tucks it right under his chin
            B
And he bows oh he bows
           A
For he knows yes he knows
             G
That it's hi-hi-hi-diddle diddle
D                                            D7
Twixt my heart Tom and his fiddle
      Am                   B
My strings are unstrung
G        B   Am  A
Hi-hi-hi-hi
            D
I am undone

  G           A   B
I hear his violin
                      G               A
And I get that feeling within
         B
And I sigh oh I sigh
                A
He draws near very near
            G
And it's hi-hi-hi-diddle diddle
D                         D7
Goodbye to the fiddle
      A                     B
My strings are unstrung
G        B   Am  A
Hi-hi-hi-hi
                   D
I'm always undone

         G          A          B
When heaven calls to me
                  G           A
Sing me no sad eulogy
        B
Say I die loving bride
            A
Loving wife loving life
              G
For 'twas hi-hi-hi-hi-diddle diddle
D                                               D7
Twixt my heart Tom and his fiddle
        A              B
And ever 'twill be
G        B  Am  A
Hi-hi-hi-hi
                     D
Through eternity

      G                B
