Fakenham Fair by Bellowhead
Fakenham Fair
Standard tuning
Capo on 3nd
D A D G D G
I never really fell in love till I went up to Fakenham fair
D A D G D A D
And chanced for to meet with a carnival girl a selling the fortunes there
G F# Em A D G
Try for a lamp or a Spanish shawl or a golden filigree
D A D G D A D
But all the time her eyes were saying 'come take a chance on me'
CH.
G F# Em A
So swing around the merry-go-round
D G
Give the wheel of fortune a whirl
D A D G
The finest prize at Fakenham fair
D A D
Is the pretty carnival girl
Her hair was brown and her eyes were blue and her lips they were soft and red
I’d never seen such a shape as hers and my eyes nearly popped from my head
For I was young and innocent oh but still even I could see
the way she smiled and winked my way said ‘come take a chance on me’
CH.
My friends they said well she’s not for you oh what will the old people think
But I took my chance and I won that girl just as quick as an eye could wink
And the finest day in all my life whatever may come to pass
Was the day i went up to Fakenham Fair and won me the carnival lass
