[C] [Gm]
[C] For all that it cost him, he never [G] did complain.
[C] The chicken had it down, just as [Gm] the moon [C] rang.
[G] [C] But the last bus is tired, and everybody's gone.
The horses are waiting in the middle of the lawn.
[Dm]
[C] Gone from [F] Rhodes, [Dm]
[C] gone [F] from [C] Tundra [F] [Dm] Gown.
[C] It's after the fair, that's when I see you there.
She's sleeping in the canvas, the fat man hollering,
whose night is it bleeding out?
Come into my trailer, we'll toast a little bread.
Oh look, you've left a hole where you laid on my [Dm]
[C] bed.
But you keep [F] what you can keep, [Dm]
[C] when you [Am] dive in [C] June.
Year after frozen year, that's where I saved you there.
Oh, away from the [F] sky, [Dm]
away [Am] from the sky.
Oh, [C] [F]
[Dm]
away [C]
from the sky, away from the sky.
But everybody's gone, it's after the fair.
And the horses are painting with the waving of the air.
You turn the carousel on, the lights [G] are closed down.
Watch your ponies run through the [C] town.
So there you go, little gal, there you [Dm] go.
Gone [C]
from Tundra, [Dm] [C] it's after the fair, that's when I.
[Dm] [C]
Over [F] the fences [C] again, the vacuums in the hall.
To the flags up in the air, that's where I hear you [G] rest.
[C] Oh, home, [F] home, [Dm]
[Am]
[C] home.
