Chords for Nanci Griffith - Roseville Fair

[Bb] Oh the night was clear and stars were shining and the [Eb] moon came [F] up so [Bb] quiet in the sky
And all the people gathered in and the band was a tuning I can hear [Cm] them now
[F] [Bb] Play a gum and do the right She was dressed in blue and she looked so lovely
Just [Cm] a gentle flower [F] of [Bb] a small town girl And then they took her in and they danced to the music
With a [Cm] single smile [F] she [Bb] became his world And they [Eb] danced all night to the [Bb] fiddlin' of the ancient war
[Cm] Drifting [F] tunes [Bb] seemed to fill the air So [Eb] long ago but they [Bb] still remember
When they [Cm] fell in love [F] [Bb] at the Roseville Fair _

_ [Cm] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ Now they courted well and they courted dearly They'd rock [Cm] for hours [F] [Bb] in the front porch chair
And then the year went by and the time that they met her And they met [Cm] her yes [F] at [Bb] the Roseville Fair
Oh well they danced [Eb] all [Gm] night [Cm] to [Bb] the fiddlin' of the ancient war
Drifting [Cm] [F] tunes seemed [Bb] to fill the air _ So [Gm] long ago [Eb] but [Bb] they still remember
When they fell [Cm] in love [F] at [Bb] the Roseville Fair
[Eb] And here's a [Gm] song [Cm] [Bb] for all of the lovers _ [Cm] Here's a tune [F] [Bb] that you can share
And they [Eb] danced [Gm] all night [Eb] to [Bb] the fiddlin' of the ancient war
