D * * G D
.. Oh the night was clear, .. and the stars were shining
D G A * D
.. And the moon came up___, .. so quiet in the sky
D * * G D
.. All the people gathered 'round, .. and the band was a-tuning
D G A * D
.. I can hear them now___, .. playing "Coming Through the Rye"
D * * G D
.. You were dressed in blue, .. and you looked so lovely
D G A * D
.. Just a gentle flower___, .. of a small-town girl
D * * G D
.. You took my hand, .. and we stepped to the music
D G A * D
.. With a single smile___, .. you became my world
CHORUS:
[D].. And we danced all [A]night_[D]__, [Em].. to the [A]fiddle and the [D]banjo
[A].. Their drifting [G]tunes, [A].. seemed to fill the [D]air
[D].. So long a[A]go_[D]__, [Em].. but I [A]still re-[D]member
[A].. When we fell in [G]love, [A].. at the Roseville [D]Fair
Now we courted well, and we courted dearly
And we'd rock for hours, on the front-porch chair
Then a year went by, from the time that I met you
And I made you mine, at the Roseville Fair
So here's a song, for all of the lovers
And here's a tune, that they can share
May they dance all night, to the fiddle and the banjo
The way we did, at the Roseville Fair
REPEAT LAST TWO LINES OF VERSE TO END (NO FINAL CHORUS)
NOTES:
- "*" in the chord line represents a new bar, play same chord
