[Verse 1]
C G F C
In a trunk in the attic in Grandmother’s house
Am Dm7 G G7
An old photograph caught my eye
C G F C
An old man with a fiddle and a cane bottom chair
F G C G
No name just the date that he died
C G F C
Though he lived long ago in a world I don’t know
Am Dm7 G G7
And places that I’ve never been
C G F C
His picture allows me to go back in time
F G C
To hear his old fiddle again
[Chorus]
C C7 F Dm
Did he fiddle the lonesome away for a while
F G G7
Did they dance as he played ‘em a tune
C E7 F
Did the young lovers sway to the Westphalia Waltz
D G G7
In the glow of the Santa Fe moon
E7 Am G C
Did they dream of a home that was so far away
F Dm G G7
And the loved ones that they left behind
C E7 F Dm
Did a waltz across the sea from the green Ireland shores
F G C
And take ’em back home for a time
[Verse 2]
C G F C
I imagined he played as the ship rode the waves
Am Dm7 G G7
On a sea that seemed endless and strange
C G F C
I can hear him play now in a green river camp
F G C G
While the bush sways and beaver men sing
