 Donny Haltom asked for this tune in the latest Cowpie.  Hope this helps
 you out.  I can't remember the songwriter for certain, but I think it
 might have been Michael Murphy.
 
 CHEROKEE FIDDLE
 
 INTRO:    D          G          A    Bb    Bm   Bb
           //// ////  //// ////  //// ////  //// ////
 
          D                     G
 When the train pulled into the station
 
                  A   Bb                Bm    Bb
 He'd open up his case and resin up his bow
 
                  D                       G
 He'd play upside down the Orange Blossom Special
 
              A7                                                D
 Cause if you want to make a living you've got to put on a good show
 
                    Bm                      D        
      And when he'd smell the smoke and the cinders
 
                          Bm                    Em         A7
      He'd slick back his hair, and open up his case
 
                             D                            G
      He'd play the Cherokee Fiddle, he'd play it for the whiskey
 
                 A7                             D
      Cause good whiskey never let him lose his place
 
               D                      G
 He was always there, playing for the miners
 
             A           Bb             Bm      Bb
 The Devil's Dream was a song they understood
 
               D             G
 And then he'd go out to Oklahoma
 
          A7                                                    D
 But he'd wait till the trains were running and the weather was good
 
                    Bm                      D        
      And when he'd smell the smoke and the cinders
 
                          Bm                    Em         A7
      He'd slick back his hair, and open up his case
 
                             D                            G
      He'd play the Cherokee Fiddle, he'd play it for the whiskey
 
                 A7                             D
      Cause good whiskey never let him lose his place
 
 
 INSTRUMENTAL (Like a verse)
 D          G          A    Bb    Bm   Bb
 //// ////  //// ////  //// ////  //// ////
 D          G          A7         D
 //// ////  //// ////  //// ////  //// ////
 
 
         D                            G
 Now the Indians are dressing up like cowboys
         A                   Bb                    Bm    Bb
 And the cowboys are putting leather and turquoise on
         D                G
 And the music is sold by lawyers
         A7                                                  D
 And the fools who fiddled in the middle of the stations are gone
                 Bm                D
      Some folks say they'll never miss it
                      Bm                       Em     A7
      That old fiddle squealed like the Indian race
                   D              G
      The Cherokee Fiddle is gone forever
               A7                                            D
      Like the music of the whistle that the old locomotives made
 
                  Bm                      D
      So when you smell the smoke and the cinders
                      Bm                     Em      A7
      Slick back your hair, and open up your case
                        D                               G
      Play the Cherokee Fiddle, you can play it for the whiskey
           A                  Bb                Bm       Bb
      Good whiskey will never let you lose your place
           D                  A7                D
      Good whiskey will never let you lose your place
 
      Bm   Bb    D    G
      //// ////  //// ////
 
           D                  A7                D
      Good whiskey will never let you lose your place
