C                                                          G
Sitting in the sunshine sippin' on moonshine in the kentucky hills
C7                    F                   C               G       C
sat an old man with a fiddle in his hands they called him fiddlin bill
C                                                                     G
He never left the hillside, he was born there and died in the kentuck hills
C                  F                         C          G       G7
This old man witha fiddle in his hands, they called him fiddlin bill
              G       C
ohhh old time fiddlin bill

C
All day you could hear him play,
C7  
Through the valleys and over the hills
C
Although he's gone from his hillside home
                        G
it seems I can hear him still
                       C
Ohhhh old time fiddlin bill

C                                                                         G
He could play boil the cabbage, the little leather britches and also katy hill
         C                         F
He could play a waltz slow and the blues down low
         C        G            C
He could make you feel what he feeled

C                                                                 G
One day I asked if he could read music and he looked at me with a grin
           C7                F                       C             G7    
He said he tried one time to read a note or line and never did try again
     G        C
Just couldn't comprehend

C
All day you could hear him play,
C7  
Through the valleys and over the hills
C
Although he's gone from his hillside home
                        G
it seems I can hear him still
                       C
Ohhhh old time fiddlin bill
