Intro: F    C   G  F  G  C 

verse 1: 
                         F          C 
Oh, the night was clear, stars were shining 
    F         G                   C 
The moon came up, so quiet in the sky 
                                F          C 
The people gathered 'round, the bands were tuning 
      F         G                                C 
I can hear them now, playing 'Coming Through The Rye' 


verse 2: 
                              F         C 
You were dressed in blue, you looked so lovely 
       F      G                     C 
Just a gentle flower of a smalltown girl 
                     F             C 
You took my hand, we danced to the music 
       F      G                    C 
With a single smile, you became my world  

F G C G And we danced all night to the fiddle and the banjo-o F G C Their drifting tunes seemed to fill the air F G C G So long ago, I still remember F G C When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair
verse 3: F C We courted well, we courted dearly F G C We'd sit for hours in the front porch chair F C A year went by from the time that I met you F G C And I made you mine at the Roseville Fair
F G C G And we danced all night to the fiddle and the banjo-o F G C Their drifting tunes seemed to fill the air F G C G So long ago, I still remember F G C When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair
Instrumental: C F C F G C F C F G C
F G C G Oh, here's a song for all of the lovers F G C Here's a tune they can share F G C G May they dance all night to the fiddle and the banjo-o F G C The way we did, at the Roseville Fair F G C G May they dance all night to the fiddle and the banjo-o F G C The way we did, at the Roseville Fair
OUTRO: C F G C G F G C
