[A] [Abm]
[D] [Bm]
[D] [Bm] [A] [Eb] The last [D] night of the fair, [Bm] by the big wheel generator,
The boy is stabbed and his money [A] is grabbed, And the air hangs heavy [D] like a golden wine.
[Bm] She is faint, she is funny, and engagement rings,
And Lena [A] drinks while man's [Abm] consumed [G] by bright [D] new money.
[Bm]
[A] And [Abm] the [D] boy walks home [Bm] alone, and the man walks home alone,
[D] [Bm] [A] But my faking [Abm] love [D] is still to be [Bm] found.
[D]
[Bm] [D] [Bm] [A] [Eb] The [D] last night of the fair, [Bm] from a seat on a whirling water,
A skirt is sent for a watching [A] eye, for hideous [Eb] trade on [D] a mother's side.
[Bm] From a seat on a whirling water, a skirt is sent for a watching [A] eye,
For hideous [Ab] trade [D] on a mother's side.
[Bm] [A] And the [Ab] boy [D] walks home [Bm] alone, and the man walks home alone,
[D] [Bm] [A] But my faking [Abm] love [D] is still to be found.
[Bm]
[A] [Abm] Then [G] [D] someone falls in [Bm] love, and [D] someone's beaten up,
Someone's beaten [Bm] up, [A] and the scent of [Abm] beans [D] all over mine.
[Bm] And someone falls in love, and someone's beaten up,
[Gbm] And the scent of beans [D] all over [Bm] mine.
[A] And the [Abm]
[G] boy [D] walks home [Bm] alone, and the man walks home alone,
[D] [Gbm] But my faking love [G] is still to [D] be found.
[Bm] [D] [Bm]
[D] [Bm] [A] This is [Abm] the [D] last night of the fair, [Bm] and the grease in the hair,
Of a [D] speedway operator, [Bm] [A] is all a [Abm] trendulous [D] heart [Bm] requires.
A schoolgirl [D] is denied, she said, how quickly [Bm] would I die,
[A] With a jump from [Ab] the tops of [D] the parachute.
[Bm] This
[D] [Bm] [A] is the [Abm] last [D] night of the fair, [Bm] and the [D] grease in the [Bm] hair,
Of a [D] speedway operator, [B] [A] is all a [Abm] trendulous [D] heart requires.
[Bm] A schoolgirl [D] is denied, she said, how quickly [Bm] would I die,
[A] With a jump from the [Gbm] tops of the [D] parachute.
[Bm] [D] [Bm]
[D] [Bm] [A] So, [D] scratch my name [Bm] on your arm with a fountain pen,
[D] [Bm] This [A] means you [Ab] really [D] love me.
Scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen,
[Bm] This [Gbm] means [G] you really [D] love [Bm] me.
[D] [Gbm] And the [Ab] boy [D] walks home alone, [Bm] and this night walks home alone,
[D] [Bm] But [A] my faking [Gbm] love is [D] still to be found.
[Bm] And the boy walks home alone, [D] [Bm] [Gbm] and this night [Abm] walks [D] home alone,
[Bm] And the boy walks home alone, [D] [Bm] [Gbm] and this night [Abm]
[G] walks home [D] alone.
