Lyrics Now It Belongs To You - Mark O'Connor

My grandpa made this fiddle with his two hard workin' hands
And they say he really made the music pro
And he even took his old fiddle off to war he's in
And they both came back, don't you know

It was (Am)cold De-(B)cember (C)when he passed a-(G)way
They (Am)say he smiled at (Em)my dad, and they (D)heard him say;

Take (C)ever of my (D)fiddle, son, 'cause (B)it's yours from now (C)on
(Am) Keep it in the (Em)family after (D/F#)you and I are gone
(C) And play every (D)song just like you (B)playin' days all (C)through
Just take good (B)care of my (C)fiddle, son, now (D/F#)it belongs to (G)you

I was (G)just a boy when daddy's called to (C)fight for Uncle (G)Sam
He let me (C)keep his fiddle while he was a-(D/F#)way
I (G)had it in my hands when we (B)got the awful (C)news
And I (Am)swear that I (G) can (D)hear him say;

Take (C)care of my (D)fiddle, son, 'cause (B)it's yours from now (C)on
(Am) Give it to that (Em)boy of yours when (D/F#)you and I are (D)gone
(C) And play every (D)song just like you (B)playin' days all (C)through
Just take good (B)care of my (C)fiddle, son, now (D/F#)it belongs to (G)you

(Am) (Bm) Now (C)I'm so proud to (D)get the chance to (B)see my little (C)boy
As he (Am)tries his best to (D/F#)play my vio-(G)lin
(Am) (Bm) (C) One day, he'll (D)know about the (B/Eb)love there in his (C/E)hands
(Am) That's when (C/G)I will say to (D)me;

Take (C)care of my (D)fiddle, son, 'cause (B)it's yours from now (C)on
(Am) Keep it in the (Em)family after (D/F#)you and I are gone
(C) And play every (D)song just like you (B)playin' days all (C)through
Just take good (B)care of my (C)fiddle, son, now (D/F#)it belongs to (G)you

Just take good (B)care of my (C)fiddle, son, now (Em)it be-(D/F#)longs to you
