The Devil Went Down To Georgia Chords

(ver. 1)
Korn
[Verse 1]
 Dm
The Devil went down to Georgia
 Dm
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
 Dm
He was in a bind ’cause he was way behind. He was willing to make a deal
 Dm
When he came upon this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
 Dm
And the Devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said "Boy, let me tell you what."
 Dm
"I guess you didn’t know it, but I'm a fiddle player, too
 Dm
And if you'd care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you
 Dm
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the Devil his due
 Dm
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul 'cause I think I'm better than you."
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 Dm
The boy said, "My name's Johnny, and it might be a sin
 Dm
But I’ll take your bet, and you’re gonna regret, 'cause I’m the best there's ever been."
 
 
[Chorus]
 Dm                           C
Johnny, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
       Gm                                    Dm
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cards
                                  Gm
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
    A
But if you lose the devil gets your soul

[Verse 2]
 Dm
The Devil opened up his case and he said, "I’ll start this show."
 Dm
And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow
 Dm
And he pulled the bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss
 Dm                                                                  A Db Dm
And a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this:

[Verse 3]
 Dm
When the Devil finished, Johnny said, "Well, you're pretty good ol' son
 Dm
But sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how it's done."
 
 
[Chorus]
 D
"Fire on the Mountain" Run, boys, run!
 C
The Devil's in the house of the rising sun
 D
Chicken's in the bread pan picking out dough
 C
Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no
 
 
[Instrumental]
Dm C Dm C Dm C A C Dm
 
 
[Verse 4]
 Dm
The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
 Dm
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet
 Dm
Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again
 Dm
I done told you once--you son of a b**ch--I'm the best there's ever been." he played:
 
 
[Chorus]
D
"Fire on the Mountain" Run, boys, run!
 C
The Devil's in the house of the rising sun
 D
Chicken's in the bread pan picking out dough
 C
Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no
