I know this is off topic. Does anyone have the written fiddle music for The Devil goes down to Georgia. Maybe someone could guide me to it. Thanks

Robert, about 15 years ago when I started playing fiddle, I couldnt find it either, luckily, I had a buddy playin in a local band who did the song and showed me how he did it, it wasnt right but it was a start, and that got me close enough to get the correct version off the album, a better version of "The Devil went Down to Georgia" is on Mark O' Connors album "Heroes" he and Charlie do a new version w/ Marty Stuart and Johnny Cash called "The Devil went Back down to Georgia", a lot of the stuff is the same but at least when Mark plays his parts, they are cleaner and you can better hear what he is playing,Charlie does a good job too, his parts on this album are cleaner than the original version, if I could write music or tab, I would write it for you, everything I learn I learn by ear..(and damn that hurts.....lol)
