Second Fiddle

Intro: Gm F Gm F Gm Eb D7 F Gm

    Gm7
The angels got together in the Great Throne Room
D7/F#                            D7
Thought they'd pass some time by pickin' a tune
F
Michael on guitar, Raphael on mandolin
    C9
And Gabe, he was the leader on the old violin
  Gm7
I think it was an elder said, "Whatcha gonna play?
D7/F#                      D7
Amazing Grace or how 'bout Happy Day"
    F
The strings were all tuned and they were tappin' their feet
       C9
But just when they were ready to play the first beat
   Ebmaj7                         G4/D
God walked in the room and a hush filled the air
Cm7                                D7sus4              D7
Gabriel put down his bow and moved down to second chair
F          Gm
It's not a bill that's up to be voted on
     Cm9
It became a law when He wrote it in stone
       F                  D7
Number one in the list of His Big Ten
        Gm               D7sus4
When He came to earth He said it again
D7            Gm
It's been the same way since the beginning of time
             Cm9
So don't be fooled into thinking that it's not a crime
           F                           D7         Gm
He made it plain and clear it's not a rhyme or a riddle
Eb9        D7                 Gm F Gm F Gm Eb D7 F Gm
God don't play second fiddle

  Gm7
I once knew a man that was climbin' the ladder
    D7/F#            D7
His portfolio was all that mattered
   F
He made lots of cash didn't give much away
    C9                              Gm7
His very best friend was his CPA, a beautiful wife, two girls, and a boy
      D7/F#        D7
But his IRA was his pride and joy
    F
His own net worth became divine
       C9
At the altar of his bottom line
             Ebmaj7                              G4/D
But then the market turned and his bank account ran dry
               Cm7                                   D7sus4 D
Betrayed by his money God he just hung his head and cried
F          Gm
It's not a bill that's up to be voted on
     Cm9
It became a law when He wrote it in stone
       F                  D7
Number one in the list of His Big Ten
        Gm               D7sus4
When He came to earth He said it again
D7            Gm
It's been the same way since the beginning of time
             Cm9
So don't be fooled into thinking that it's not a crime
           F                           D7         Gm
He made it plain and clear it's not a rhyme or a riddle

F            D7/F#       Gm
No compromise, no way that, he'll concede
Cm7
If He's gonna play at all
          D7sus4
It's just got to be the lead
D7             Gm D7/F# F Gm/C Eb9 G4/D Cm7 A7 D7sus4
