(VERSE 1 ) (E)I can hear (F#m)how you work, (A)practising (B)hard 
Playing (E)night and day, (B)woah-(A)oh 
(E)And it sounds (F#m)better now 
(A)Yes, you improve (B)every (E)time you (B)play, woah-(A)oh 
But it's bad (F#m7) 
(G#m7)You're so sad (F#m7) 
(G#m7)And you're (F#m)only smiling (A)  (B) 
When you (F#m)play your (A)violin (B) 
 
(Chorus)  (E)Dum-dum-diddle, to be(B) your fiddle 
To be(F#m) so near you and not(B7) just hear you 
(E)Dum-dum-diddle, to (B)be your fiddle 
I (F#m)think then maybe you'd see(B) me, baby 
(A)You'd be mine (B) 
And we'd (A)be together all the time (B) 
Wish I was, dum (E)-dum-(G#m)diddle, your (A)darling (B)fiddle 
 
(VERSE 2) But I think you don't know that I exist 
I'm the quiet kind, woah-oh 
From the day when I first listened to you 
You've been on my mind, woah-oh 
You don't care 
It's not fair 
And you're only smiling 
When you play your violin 
 
(Chorus)
