Oh, the night was clear, the stars were shining,
[F] the moon [G] came up [F] so quiet [C] in the sky, the people
gathered round, the [F] bands [C] were tuning, I can [F] hear [G] them now, [Gm] playing coming [C] through the
rye, you were dressed in blue, [F] you looked [C] so lovely, just a [F] gentle [G] flower of a small
[C] town girl, you took my hand, [F] we danced [C] to the music, with a [Dm] single [G] smile, you [C] became
my own, and we danced [F] all night, to the [C] fiddle and the banjo, [G]
her drifting [F] dreams, [G]
seemed
to fill [C] the air, so [F] long ago, [Dm] but [G] I still [C] remember, [G] when we fell [C] [F] in love, [G] at [C] the Roseville
fair, we courted well, we courted dearly, we'd sit [G] far out, in the front [C] porch chairs,
[F] a year [C] went by, from the time that I met you, and I made you [Gm] mine, [Dm] [G] at the Roseville [C] fair,
and we danced [F] all night, to the [C] fiddle and the banjo, [G] her drifting [F] dreams, [G] seemed to fill
[C] the air, so long [F] ago, but [G] I still [C] remember, [G] when we fell in [F] love, [G] at the [C] Roseville fair,

here's [F] a song, [G] for all [C] of the lovers, [G]
[F] here's a tune, [G]
they can [C] share, may they dance [F] all
night, to [G] the fiddle [C] and the banjo, [G]
the way [F] we did, [G]
at the [Dm] [C] Roseville fair, may they dance
[F] all night, to [G] the fiddle [C] and the banjo, [G]
the way [F] we did, [G]
at the [C] Roseville fair.
