[Verse 1]
 G                            Am
"Gents to the middle," said a young 
girl's fiddle
        C                    G
And you ain't got nothin' to lose
G                       C
Allemande right she can play it all 
night
        Am                      
She can fiddle off the bottom of 
      G
your shoes


[Chorus]
C      D      G                  
Oh me, oh my, how she makes that 
C
bowhair fly
G                  D            G
How she hangs that music in the air


[Verse 2]
G                     C
Promenade down to the lonesome sound
     Am                    G
Of a whip-poor-will in the night
G                    C
Sashay back, look at old mad Jack
        Am            G
Hugging everything in sight


[Chorus]
C      D      G                  
Oh me, oh my, how she makes that 
C
bowhair fly
G                  D           (G)
How she hangs that music in the air

G              C
Banjo Bill, he stopped stock still
       Am                   G
As the notes came a-rolling by
   G                   C
It filled his ears and eased his 
fears
      Am               G
And a tear come to his eye


[Chorus]
C      D      G                  
Oh me, oh my, how she makes that 
C
bowhair fly
G                  D            G
How she hangs that music in the air


[Verse 4]
    G                  Em     
The old string bass he lost his 
  C
place
        C                    G
And his arms, they felt like steel
    G      D           C        
The guitar man dropped both his 
G
hands
       G
And he swore it was not real


[Chorus]
C      D      G                  
Oh me, oh my, how she makes that 
C
bowhair fly
G                  D             
How she hangs that bristol in the 
(G)
air

[Verse 5]
     G
It's golden strings on eagle's wings
       C              G
To the callin' of the squares
            G      D              
And there's fiddle tunes and 
   C      G
there's fiddle tunes
       Am      G
But Virginia's splittin' hairs


[Chorus]
C      D      G                  
Oh me, oh my, how she makes that 
C
bowhair fly
G                  D            G
How she hangs that music in the air


[Verse 6]
    G               D
She cast a spell no tongue can tell
   C             G
No prophet can reveal
G               C
Quiet as death, hold your breath
    G
She played "Virginia's Real"


[Chorus]
C      D      G                  
Oh me, oh my, how she makes that 
C
bowhair fly
G                  D            G
How she hangs that music in the air


[Chorus]
C      D      G                  
Oh me, oh my, how she makes that 
C
bowhair fly
G                  D           (G)
How she hangs that music in the air
