Fairport Convention - Banbury fair

The ^Dmonth of October, ^Gnights drawing ^Din A crescent moon ^Ahung in the ^Dsky Smoke out of chimneys, a ^Gfrost on the ^Dground ^GNothing is ^Em7passing us ^Aby.^G.

^DMe and a friend, with an evening to ^Gspare My ^Dshirt collar whiter then ^Gwhite We talked our way ^Adown to the ^Dmiddle of ^Gtown With the ^Dmusic and ^Amovement and ^Dlight

I rode the big wheel and got ^Gstuck at the ^Dtop With the loveliest ^Agirl at the ^Dfair We had a different view of the ^Gold town hall ^Dclock As we ^Gswung to-and-^Em7fro in the ^Aair^G..

^DShot on the rifle range, knocked them all ^Gdown ^DMissed at the coconut ^Gshy Closed eyes on the^A waters, we're ^Dspinning so ^Gfast We ^Dthought we were ^Agoing to ^Ddie

At the ^ATalk Of The Town, you've ^Ggot to be old enough ^DDown by the boxing booth, ^Gacting all ^Arough and tough The ^Dthrills and the spills of it, I had my ^Gshare We were ^Dcoming to^Bm7gether for ^ABanbury ^DFair

To the ^DTeller Of Fate, we ^Gboth had a ^Dgo To see if she ^Aproved to be ^Dwrong We palmed her with silver, held ^Gonto our ^Dbreath She ^Ggazed in her ^Em7huge crystal ^Abal^Gl..

"^DSeeing an animal, seven hands ^Ghigh ^DGalloping wild and ^Gfree Now the picture is ^Afading, I ^Dsee nothing ^Gmore But a ^Dvery good ^Aomen, you'll ^Dsee"

We ^Dbet on a horse, promised another win ^DWith the name on our ticket, Live Duck So slow, even slower, she ^Gwas the last ^Dpost ^DI thought we were in with some luck

^DJumping into the air, "Damn, you bet mine" A winner right out of the ^Gblue Our hearts were in ^Alaughter as we ^Dboth rea^Glised ^DThat's what the ^Aold gypsy^D knew

At the ^ATalk Of The Town, you've ^Ggot to be old enough ^DDown by the boxing booth, ^Gacting all ^Arough and tough The ^Dthrills and the spills of it, I had my ^Gshare We were ^Dcoming to^Bm7gether for ^ABanbury ^DFair

At the ^ATalk Of The Town, you've ^Ggot to be old enough ^DDown by the boxing booth, ^Gacting all ^Arough and tough The ^Dthrills and the spills of it, I had my ^Gshare We were ^Dcoming to^Bm7gether for ^ABanbury ^DFair (^DComing to^Bm7gether for ^ABanbury ^DFair) ^DComing to^Bm7gether for ^ABanbury ^DFair (^DComing to^Bm7gether for ^ABanbury ^GFair) ^{A D}
