[Intro 1]
[D]
[A][D][Bm][D][Bm][D]
[Bm]

[Verse 1]
[A]The last night of the[D] fair
By the big wheel generator
A boy is stabbed and his
money is [Bm]grabbed
And [A]the air hangs heavy like a dulling [D]wine
[Bm]She [D]is famous, she is funn[Bm]y
[D]An engagment ring
doesn't mean a [Bm]thing
To a [A]mind consumed by brass
[D]money
[Bm][D][Bm][D][Bm]

[Verse 2]
[A]And though I walk [D]home alone
I [Bm]might walk [D]home [Bm]alone[D]
[Bm]But my f[A]aith in love is still de
[D]vout
[Bm][D][Bm][D][Bm]

[Verse 3]
[A]The last night of the[D] fair
From a seat on a whirling [Bm]waltzer
Her [D]skirt ascends for a watching eye
It's a [A]hideous trait on her
mother's [D]side
From a seat on a whirling waltzer
Her skirt ascends for a watching eye
It's a [A]hideous trait on her mother's
[D]side
[Bm][D][Bm][D][Bm]

[Verse 4]
[A]And though I walk [D]home alone
I [Bm]might walk [D]home [Bm]alone[D]
[Bm]But my f[A]aith in love is still de
[D]vout
[Bm][D][Bm][D][Bm]

[Verse 5]
[A]
Then [D]someone falls in love
And [Bm]someone's [D]beaten up
Someone's beaten up
[Bm]And [A]the senses being dulled are [D]mine
And [Bm]someone [D]falls in love
And someone's beaten up
[Bm]And [A]the senses being dulled
[D]are mine
[Bm][D][Bm]

[Verse 6]
[A]And though I [G]walk [D]home alone
I [Bm]might walk [D]home [Bm]alone[D]
[Bm]But my f[A]aith in love is still
de[D]vout[Bm][D][Bm][D]
[Bm]This [A]is the last night of [D]the fair
And the [Bm]grease in the [D]hair
Of a speedway operator
[A]Is all a tremulous heart re[G]quires[D]
A schoolgirl [Bm]is de[D]nied
[Bm]She said, "How q[D]uickly would I die
[A]If I jumped from the top
of the parachutes?"

[Verse 7]
[D]Thi[Bm]s is[A]
the last night of [D]the fair
And the [Bm]grease in the [D]hair
Of a speedway operator
[A]Is all a tremulous heart re
[G]quires[D]
A schoolgirl [Bm]is de[D]nied
[Bm]She said, "How q[D]uickly would I die
If I [A]jumped from the top of the parachutes?"
[D][Bm][D][Bm][D][Bm]

[Verse 8]
[A]So,
[D]scratch my name on your arm [Bm]with [D]a fountain [Bm]pen[D]
This [A]means you really love me
[D]Scratch my name on your arm
[Bm]with a [D]fountain [Bm]pen[D]
This [Bm]means [A]you really lov[D]e
me
[Bm][D][Bm][D][Bm]

[Verse 9]
[A]And though [D]I walk home alone
I just [Bm]might walk [D]home [Bm]alone[D]
[Bm]But my f[A]aith in [F#m]love i[A]s still devo[D]ut
I [Bm]might walk [D]home [Bm]alone[D]
[Bm]But my f[A]aith in love is [D]still devout
I might walk home [Bm]alone[D]
[Bm]But my f[A]aith in love is still de
[D]vout
