David Francey - Midway
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: C F C F C F C
CHORUS:
Down on the midway
F C
Down on the midway-ay
F
Night turned into day
C
Down at the fair
Down on the midway
F C
Down on the midway-ay
F
Night turned into day
C
Down at the fair
Well, there's somebody making noise
F C
And it's one of the foundry boys
F
He found a girl to romance
C
So he hasn't a care
They're walking hand in hand
F C
Down by the barker's stand
F
Love is a game of chance
C
A straight or a pair
F
And love is a game of chance
C
A straight or a pair
Young family come into town
F C
Put the kids on the merry-go-round
F
Young boys staring down their fears
C
Pointing up in the air
Lights tumble like shooting stars
F C
On the barns and the bars and cars
F
Young girls in a house of mirrors
C
Combing their hair
F
Young girls in a house of mirrors
C
Combing their hair
CHORUS:
And down on the midway
F C
Down on the midway-ay
F
Night turned into day
C
Down at the fair
And down on the midway
F C
Down on the midway-ay
F
Rag end of summer hangs
C
Up in the air
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C F C F C F C F C
And after the country band
F C
All stand around shaking hands
F
And the talk of the Summer's sins
C
Are a reason to stay
'Cause the end of the Summer's gone
F C
With the coming of Monday morn
F
Start of the Fall begins
C
At the dawn of the day
F
And the start of the Fall begins
C
At the dawn of the day
CHORUS:
And down on the midway
F C
Down on the midway-ay
F
Night turned into day
C
Down at the fair
F
Young girls in a house of mirrors
C
Combing their hair

And the rag end of summer hangs
