{c: Thanks Steve Walton - does a great job on showing timing !! }
Oh the night was [F] clear / / / [F] / and the [Bb] stars were [F] shining
[F] / And the moon came [Gm] up / / / [C] / so quiet in the [F] sky / / /
[F] / All the people gathered [F] round / / / [F] / and the [Bb] band was [F] tuning
[F] / I can hear them [Gm] now / / / [C] / playing "Coming Through the [F] Rye"
{c: }
[F] / You were dressed in [F] blue / / / [F] and you [Bb] looked so [F] lovely
[F] / Just a gentle [Gm] flower / / / [C] / of a small town [F] girl
[F] / You took my [F] hand / / / [F] and we [Bb] stepped to the [F] music
[F] / With a single [Gm] smile / / / [C] / you became my [F] world
{c: }
[F] / And we danced all [Bb] night / / / [Bb] / to the fiddle and the [F] banjo
[F] / Their drifting [Gm] tunes / / / [C] / seemed to fill the [F] ai-ai-ai-air [C]
So long a-[Bb]go / / / [Bb] but I still re-[F]member
[F] When we fell in [Gm] love / / / [C] / at the Roseville [F] Fair
{c: }
[F] Now we courted well / / / [F] / and we [Bb] courted [F] dearly
[F] / And we'd rock for [Gm] hours / / / [C] on the front-porch [F] chair / / /
[F] Then a year went [F] by / / / [F] / from the [Bb] time that I [F] met you
And I made you [Gm] mine / / / [C] / at the Roseville [F] Fair
{c: }
[F] / And we danced all [Bb] night / / / [Bb] / to the fiddle and the [F] banjo
[F] / Their drifting [Gm] tunes / / / [C] / seemed to fill the [F] ai-ai-ai-air [C]
So long a-[Bb]go / / / [Bb] but I still re-[F]member
[F] When we fell in [Gm] love / / / [C] / at the Roseville [F] Fair
{c: }
{sos}
[F] / And we danced all [Bb] night / / / [Bb] / to the fiddle and the [F] banjo
[F] / Their drifting [Gm] tunes / / / [C] / seemed to fill the [F] ai-ai-ai-air [C]
So long a-[Bb]go / / / [Bb] but I still re-[F]member
[F] When we fell in [Gm] love / / / [C] / at the Roseville [F] Fair
{eos}
[F] / Well the years went [F] by / / / [F] / too [Bb] fast to [F] count them
[F] / Now there's streaks of [Gm] / / / grey [C] / in your auburn [F] hair / / /
[F] / But you're dearer [F] now / / / [F] / than the [Bb] night I [F] met you
[F] And I made you [Gm] mine / / / [C] / at the Roseville [F] Fair
{c: }
[F] / So here's a [Bb] song / / / [Bb] / for all of the [F] lovers
[F] / And here's a [Gm] tune / / / [C] / that they can [F] share-are-are-are [C]
May they dance all [Bb] night / / / [Bb] / to the fiddle and the [F] banjo
[F] / The way we [Gm] did / / / [C] / at the Roseville [F] Fair
May they dance all [Bb] night / / / [Bb] / to the fiddle and the [F] banjo
[F] / The way we [Gm] did / / / [C] / at the Roseville [F] Fair
{c: }
{sos}
[F] / And we danced all [Bb] night / / / [Bb] / to the fiddle and the [F] banjo
[F] / Their drifting [Gm] tunes / / / [C] / seemed to fill the [F] ai-ai-ai-air [C]
So long a-[Bb]go / / / [Bb] but I still re-[F]member
[F] When we fell in [Gm] love / / / [C] / at the Roseville [F] Fair
[F] When we fell in [Gm] love / / / [C] / at the Roseville [F] Fair
[F] / The way we [Gm] did / / / [C] / at the Roseville [F] Fair [F]?
