[Intro] D Bm

D Bm
A G# G D
The last night of the fair
Bm D Bm
By the big wheel generator
D
A boy is stabbed
Bm
And his money is grabbed
A G# G D
And the air hangs heavy like a dulling wine
Bm D
She is famous
Bm
She is funny
D
An engagement ring
Bm
Doesn't mean a thing
A G# G
To a mind consumed by brass (money)
( D Bm )
A G# G D
And though I walk home alone
Bm D Bm D Bm D
I might walk home alone
A G# G
...But my faith in love is still devout
( D Bm )
A G# G D
The last night of the fair
Bm D Bm
From a seat on a whirling waltzer
D Bm
Her skirt ascends for a watching eye
A G# G D
It's a hideous trait (on her mother's side)

A G# G D Bm
Then someone falls in love
D Bm
And someone's beaten up
D Bm
Someone's beaten up
A G# G D Bm
And the senses being dulled are mine

A G# G D
This is the last night of the fair
Bm D
And the grease in the hair
Bm D
Of a speedway operator
A G# G D
Is all a tremulous heart requires
Bm D
A schoolgirl is denied
Bm D Bm
She said : "How quickly would I die
A G# G
If I jumped from the top of the parachutes?"
D Bm D Bm D
So...scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen
Bm A G# G
(This means you really love me)
