Vamp in the Middle

Em
John Hartford

Em            D
Make my bed with a crease in the middle
B7        Em
Make my home in the Hollywood of shills
And I make my living with a hillbilly fiddle
Playing little runs with the funny little fills

Well got me a gal from playing on my fiddle
And the harder that I fiddle the harder that she comes along
But we gotta get happy with we wiggle in the middle
That's when I know that I want to come home

[Chorus]
D        G    Em
Play, fiddle, play all day long I hear you screaming at mt
C    B7        Em
Way far away in the yard

Well, I wrote this song with a vamp in the middle
And I knew when I wrote it that I'd written it for the fiddle

[Chorus]
