[D] I'm just a poor old sheep.
[A] [Abm]
[D] [Bm]
The [D] [Bm] [A] [Abm] last [D] night of the fair
[Bm] By the big wheel generator
A boy is stabbed and his money [A] is grabbed
And the air [Dbm] hangs heavy like [D] a drum in wine
[Bm] She is famous, she is funny
And engagement rings and [A] leanest rings
Will a man [Abm] consume [Gm] by [D] dropping money?
[Bm] [D] [Bm]
[D] [Bm] [A] And [Abm] the [D] boy walks home alone
[B] [D] And the boy walks home [Bm] alone
[D] But [Bm] [A] my faith [Ab] in love [D] is still too foul
[Bm] [D] The
[Bm] [D] [Bm] [A] last [D] night of the fair
[Bm] From a seat on a whirling water
A skirt descends for a watching [A] eye
For he'd [Gbm] his trade on [D] a mother's thigh
[Bm] From a seat on a whirling water
A skirt descends for [A] a watching eye
For he'd [Abm] his trade [D] on a mother's thigh
[Bm]
[D] [Bm] [A] And the [Abm] boy [D] walks home [Bm] alone
And the boy walks home alone
[D] [Bm] [A] But my faith [Abm] in love is [D] still too [Bm] foul
[D] [Bm]
Then [A] [Ab]
[G] [D] someone falls in [Bm] love
And [D] someone's beaten up
Someone's beaten [Bm] up
[A] And the senses [Abm] being [D] told are mine
[Bm] And [D] someone falls in love
And someone's beaten up
[A] And the senses [Dbm] being [D] told are [Bm] mine
[D] [Bm] And [A] the [Abm]
[G] boy [D] walks home [Bm] alone
And the boy walks home alone
[D] [Gbm] But my faith in love is [G] still too [D] foul
[Bm] [D] [Bm] This [A] is [Abm] the last [D] night of the fair
[Bm] And the grease in the hair
Of a feedway operator
[A] Is all a [Abm] strenuous [D] heart requires
[Bm] A schoolgirl [D] is denied
She said, how quickly [B] would I die
[A] If I jumped from [Abm] the top of [D] the parachute?
[Bm] [D] This [Bm]
[D] [Bm] [A] is the [Abm] last [D] night of the fair
[Bm] And the grease in the hair
Of a [D] feedway [B] operator
[A] Is all a [Abm] strenuous [D] heart requires
[Bm] A schoolgirl [D] is denied
She said, how quickly [Bm] would I die
[A] If I jumped from the [Gbm] top of the [D] parachute?
[Bm] [D]
[Bm] [A] [Eb] So, [D] scratch my name [Bm] on your arm
With a fountain pen
[D] [B] This [A] means you [Ab] really [D] love me
Scratch my name [Bm] on your arm
With a fountain [D] pen
[B] This [Gbm] means you [D] really love [Bm] me
[D] And [B] [Gbm] the [Abm] boy [D] walks home alone
[Bm] And the smug walks home alone
[D] [Bm] [Gbm] But my faith in [Ab] love is [D] still devoured
[Bm] The boy walks home alone
[D] But [Bm] [Gbm] my faith in [Abm] love is [D] still devoured
[Bm] The boy walks home alone
[D] [Bm] [A] But my faith [Abm] in love is [G] still [D] devoured
[B] [A] [Dbm]
