Country Faire Chords

(ver. 1)
James Keelaghan
CAPO: 3rd Fret




INTRO: G-D-G  C  G  G-D-G  C  D  G    C  D  G-D-C-D-C-D-G
       
                                  
In the shadow of the cottonwoods, grass don't grow
         C                        G
And it's well you know the reason why
                        
As we stepped out together at the country faire
   C                          D
To dance away the cool from a cool spring night
     G
Your hair, spun gold, floated like a reed
     C                   D
That dances on a crystal pond
       G                   Em
And we fell in love at the country faire
        C         D         G    G-D-C-D-C-D-G
When we danced to greet the dawn


    
And I never was much of the frugal sort
  C                      G
I never made the rent on time
      
But I've two strong hands to support myself
   C                       D
To spin in your arms or to spend my dime 
G
Never been much for the candy or the flowers 
        C                          D
But I'm always gonna treat you right 
          G                   Em
'Cause we fell in love at the country faire 
        C       D       G        Em   C  D  G
When we danced away the night 


CHORUS:
         C    ~   Am
And it's spin and twirl
        D                      C     D      C
Is that all you can do in this crazy world?
         G               D
Spin and twirl, 'til you spin your life away


                              G
And you were never much the impulsive sort
    C                          G
You think before you make your moves
    
It's head up high, stand up tall
C                   D
Never give an inch, never wanna lose
G
Solid as a rock, fluid as the water
         C              D
When the band begins to play
       G                   Em
And we fell in love at the country faire
        C           D        G  
When we danced 'til break of day


INSTRUMENTAL: G-D-G  C  G  G-D-G  C  D  G    C  D  G-D-C-D-C-D-G


   
So, in the shadow of the cottonwoods, grass don't grow
         C                        G
And it's well you know the reason why
  
As we stepped out together at the country faire
   C                          D
To dance away the cool from a cool spring night
     G
Your hair, spun gold, floated like a reed
     C                   D
That dances on a crystal pond
       G                           Em
And we danced all night 'neath the cottonwood trees
    C               D        G    G-D-C-D-C-D-G
And that is why the grass is gone


CHORUS:
         C    ~   Am
And it's spin and twirl
        D                      C     D      C
Is that all you can do in this crazy world?
         G               D
Spin and twirl, 'til you spin your life away


CHORUS:
         C    ~   Am
And it's spin and twirl
C    ~   Am
Spin and twirl
C    ~   Am              D                    C-G-Am-Am-D-G
Spin and twirl, 'til you spin your life away
