_ _ [D] _ _ _ [B] _ [A] _
[Eb] The last [D] night of the fair, [Bm] by the big wheel _ generator,
A boy is stabbed and his money is [A] grabbed, And the air hangs [Abm] heavy like a [D] golden wand.
_ _ [Bm] She is faint, she is funny, and engaging rings and rings and [A] things,
To a man [Abm] consumed by [G] bright [D] and wonder.
_ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] And the [Ab] boy [D] walks home alone, [Bm] the [D] man walks home alone,
_ _ _ _ [Bm] [A] But not gaping [Ab] love is [D] still to be [Bm] found.
_ [D] _ _
_ [Bm] _ [D] _ _ _ [Bm] _ [A] The [Eb] last [D] night of the fair, [Bm] from a seat on a whirling wall, sir,
A skirt was sent for a watching [A] eye, for hideous [Eb] traits on a [D] mother's side.

[Abm] Then [G] [D] someone falls in [Bm] love, and [D] someone's beaten [Bm] up,
[D] Someone's beaten [Bm] up, [A] and the senses [Abm] being [D] dulled are mine.

[Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Bm] [Gbm] This is the last [D] night of the fair, [Bm] and the grief in the hair of the [D] speedway operator
_ [Bm] [A] Is all a [Abm] trendulous [D] heart requires, [Bm] a true [D] love is denied.
She said, how quickly would I [Bm] die, [A] with a jump from the [Gbm] top of [D] the parachute.
