[C] For all that it cost him, he never [G] did complain.
[C] The chicken had it down, just as [Gm] the moon [C] rang.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [C] But the last bus is tired, and everybody's gone.
The horses are waiting in the middle of the lawn.
[Dm] _
[C] _ _ Gone from [F] Rhodes, _ [Dm] _
[C] gone _ [F] from [C] Tundra [F] [Dm] Gown.
[C] It's after the fair, that's when I _ _ see you _ there. _ _ _ _ _
She's sleeping in the canvas, the fat man hollering, _
_ whose night is it bleeding out? _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Come into my trailer, we'll toast a little bread.
Oh look, you've left a hole where you laid on my _ [Dm] _
[C] bed.
But you keep [F] what you can keep, [Dm] _
[C] when you [Am] dive in [C] June. _
_ _ Year after frozen year, that's where I _ _ _ _ saved you there. _ _ _ _
Oh, away _ _ _ from the [F] sky, _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
away _ _ _ _ [Am] from the sky.
_ _ _ _ Oh, [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
away _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
from _ _ _ the sky, away from the sky.
But everybody's gone, it's after the fair.
And the horses are painting with the waving of the air. _
_ _ _ You turn the carousel on, the lights [G] are closed down.
Watch your ponies run through the [C] town. _ _ _ _
So there you go, little gal, there you [Dm] go.
Gone [C] _
from Tundra, _ [Dm] _ [C] it's after the fair, that's when I. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ [C] _
Over [F] the fences [C] again, _ the _ vacuums in the hall.
_ _ To the flags up in the air, that's where I _ _ _ _ _ hear you [G] rest. _
_ [C] _ _ _ Oh, home, _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ home, _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ home. _ _ _
