The Fairground Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Standing alone
in the fairground at night
The [C]world racing past on the streets
[D]Only the stars and
the highlights of cars
Light the [G]fantasy world while [C]it sleeps
And [D]I looked around but there
wasn't a sound
But the [G]cinders [D]under my [G]feet
[B]Candy- floss sticks spelt
[A]words on the ground
[B]I tried to read them in v[A]ain.
Be[D]fore it was clear the wind blew my hair
And [G]re- phrased the [D]sentence [G]again.
[C]I stopped to light my last cigarette
The [C]fair was lit up in its glow
I [D]threw it away but the
light seemed to stay
Like 'twere [G]moonlight shining on [C]snow.
And I [D]hardly dare breathe
I just couldn't believe
[G]Then the music star[D]ted [G]to flow.

[Verse 2]
[B]Slowly everything star[A]ted to move
'Cept [B]me and I stood quite [A]still.
[D]Then came a soft cry near the coconut shy
Will you take to ride on the [G]wind.
[C]And [G]around [D]and around the big
wheel when spinning
[G]Round and around un[D]til
I noticed [G]al though [D]the
fairground was moving
The [G]rest of [D]the world stopped [G]still.
It was [B]then that I realised that
I'd [A]have to get off
[B]Although I would've
much rather [A]stayed.
[D]Then with a jolt the wheel came to a halt
And the mu[G]sic started to [C]fade.
As [D]the lights went dim my
head started to spin
Told my[G]self that [D]I wasn't
[G]to blame.[D]
[G]
[B]Looked at the ground at
[A]the candy- floss sticks
[B]Now the message was [A]plain
Be[D]hind me the wheel and the
fairground were still

[Outro 1]
And outside it was moving again.
