[Intro] D  Bm
        A  G#  G
        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)
Bm       D         Bm
From a seat on a whirling waltzer
D               Bm
Her skirt ascends for a watching eye
A                     G#     G

( 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         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
      D        Bm
And someone falls in love
       D       Bm
And someone's beaten up
    A        G#     G  D    Bm
And the senses being dulled are mine
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
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)
       D      Bm       D     Bm    D
Scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen
Bm      A       G#    G
(This means you really love me)
