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;

(Chorus)
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
