Fakenham Fair

  C     F      C       F         
I never really fell in love till 
  C          F        C
I went up to Fakenham Fair
G     C              F           
And I chanced for to meet with a 
C        F      C           G  
carnival girl a-selling the 
     C
chances there
  F                     C     
I tried for a lamp or a Spanish 
             F          G
shawl or a golden filigree
    C       F         C         
But all the while her eyes were 
F            C           G       
saying, “Oh! Come take a chance on 
  C
me.”

[Chorus]
   F                C
So swing around the merry-go-round.
         F                  G
Give the wheel of fortune a whirl,
        C      F        C        
For the finest prize at Fakenham 
F
Fair
       C      G        C
Is the pretty carnival girl.

    C         F         C        
Her eyes were blue, her hair it 
   F             C              F
was brown and her lips they were 
        C
soft and red
G     C          F          C   
And a shape like hers I had 
  F           C              G   
never seen and my eyes well they 
           C
popped from my head
    F               C          
But I was young and innocent but 
        F            G
still even I could see
         C       F           C   
That the way she laughed and she 
          F             C         
winked my way it said, “Come take 
  G         C
a chance on me.”

[Chorus]
   F                    
So swing around that old 
 C
merry-go-round.
         F                  G
Give the wheel of fortune a whirl,
    C      F        C        F
The finest prize at Fakenham Fair
       C      G        C
Is the pretty carnival girl.

[Verse 3]
    C         F          C        
The old folks said, “She ain't for
 F             C             F   
 you, boy, oh, what will the old 
       C
people think?”
G     C       F          C     
But I took my chance and I won 
     F            C           G  
that girl just as quick as an eye
       C
 could wink
        F                C    
And the very best day in all my 
        F                G
life, whatever come to pass,
        C          F        
Was the day that I went up to 
  C        F          C   
Fakenham Fair and I won me a 
     G        C
carnival lass.

[Chorus]
   F                    
So swing around that old 
 C
merry-go-round.
         F                  G
Give the wheel of fortune a whirl,
    C      F        C        F
The finest prize at Fakenham Fair
       C      G        C
Is the pretty carnival girl.
