G A
Oh he never speaks his passions
G B
He never speaks his views
G A
Whereas other men speak volumes
G B
The man I love is mute
G A
In truth I can't recall
G A B
Being wooed with words at all
G
Even now
A
G A B
He plays the violin
G A
He tucks it right under his chin
B
And he bows oh he bows
A
For he knows yes he knows
G
That it's hi-hi-hi-diddle diddle
D D7
Twixt my heart Tom and his fiddle
Am B
My strings are unstrung
G B Am A
Hi-hi-hi-hi
D
I am undone
G A B
I hear his violin
G A
And I get that feeling within
B
And I sigh oh I sigh
A
He draws near very near
G
And it's hi-hi-hi-diddle diddle
D D7
Goodbye to the fiddle
A B
My strings are unstrung
G B Am A
Hi-hi-hi-hi
D
I'm always undone
G A B
When heaven calls to me
G A
Sing me no sad eulogy
B
Say I die loving bride
A
Loving wife loving life
G
For 'twas hi-hi-hi-hi-diddle diddle
D D7
Twixt my heart Tom and his fiddle
A B
And ever 'twill be
G B Am A
Hi-hi-hi-hi
D
Through eternity
G B
He plays the violin
