E          F#m             A         B
I can hear how you work, practising hard
         E              B      A
Playing night and day, woah - oh
E             F#m          A           B
And it sounds better now, yes, you improve
       E              B      A
Every time you play, woah - oh

          F#m7 G#m7
But it's bad
           F#m7 G#m7
You're so sad
           F#m    A    B
And you're only smiling
          F#m       A    B
When you play your violin

Chorus:
 E                  B
Dum-dum-diddle, to be your fiddle
   F#m                B7
To be so near you and not just hear you
 E                  B
Dum-dum-diddle, to be your fiddle
   F#m                    B
I think then maybe you'd see me, baby

You'd be mine
And we'd be together all the time
Wish I was, dum dum diddle, your darling fiddle

But I think you don't know that I exist
I'm the quiet kind, woah woah
From the day when I first listened to you
You've been on my mind, woah woah

You don't care
It's not fair
And you're only smiling
When you play your violin

Chorus:
Dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle
To be so near you and not just hear you
Dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle
I think then maybe you'd see me, baby

You'd be mine
And we'd be together all the time

Chorus:
Dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle
To be so near you and not just hear you
Dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle
I think then maybe you'd see me, baby

You'd be mine
And we'd be together all the time
Wish I was, dum dum diddle, your darling fiddle
