Lyrics

A way a bove my head

I (Db)see the strang est (C)sight,

a fid dler on the roof,

who’s (Db)up there day and (C)night.

He fid dles when it rains,

he (Db)fid dles when it (C)snows.

I’ve nev er seen him rest,

yet (Db)on and on he (C)goes.

What does it mean, this fid dler on the roof, who (Db)fid dles ev ’ry night and (C)fid dles ev ’ry noon?

Why should he pick so cu ri ous a place to (Db)play his lit tle fid dler’s (C)tune?

An un ex pect ed breeze

could (Db)blow him to the (C)ground,

yet af ter ev ’ry storm,

I (Db)see he’s still a (C)round.

What ev er each day brings

this (Db)odd out land ish (C)man,

he plays his sim ple tune

as (Db)sweet ly as he (C)can.

What does it mean, this fid dler on the roof, who (Db)fid dles ev ’ry night and (C)fid dles ev ’ry noon?

Why should he pick so cu ri ous a place to (Db)play his lit tle fid dler’s (C)tune?

An (C)tune?

A fid dler on the roof,

a (Db)most un like ly (C)sight,

it might not mean a thing,

but (Db)then a gain it (C)might!
