Coney Island Fair
(Josh Turner/Carson McKee)
The intro's rhythm mimmicks the beat for the chorus. Just sing that in your head while you play the intro
and you should be fine
[Intro]
C G/B Am
Am/G Fmaj7 Gsus4 C
[Verse 1]
C D/C
Buy me a ticket on a carnival ride,
Fmaj7 G
take me out to dance
Em Fmaj7 Em Fmaj Dm G7
I'm getting older with nothing to show for all this rambling
C D/C
Hold my hand on the ferris wheel
Fmaj7 G
like our parents did
Em Fmaj7 Em Fmaj Dm G7 C
Love was pure then, I was sure when I was just a kid
[Chorus 1]
C G/B Am Am/G Fmaj7 G
Please say to me you'll have flowers in your hair
C G/B Am Am/G Fmaj7 G C
I'll be right on time for the Coney Island fair
[Verse 2]
C D/C
Earn me passage on a sailing ship
Fmaj7 G
to the coast of Spain
Em Fmaj7 Em Fmaj Dm G7
Even in the sleepless city I'm a stowaway
C D/C
I will change my coat and hat
Fmaj7 G
and be a noble man
Em Fmaj7 Em Fmaj Dm G7 C
Seek my riches and beggars wishes on these foreign sands
[Chorus 2]
C G/B Am Am/G Fmaj7 G
Please say to me that you'll write me while I'm there
C G/B Am Am/G Fmaj7 G C
I will return for the Coney Island fair
[Verse 3]
C D/C
I know age has bought my face
Fmaj7 G
and sold it for a dime
Em Fmaj7 Em Fmaj Dm G7
And you have saved up all your grace just to barter it for mine
C D/C
Guide me through these neon stalls
Fmaj7 G
past the tired games
Em Fmaj7 Em Fmaj Dm G7 C
I don't remember the way I had been but you still know my name
[Chorus 3]
C G/B Am Am/G Fmaj7 G
Please say to me that you'll always find me there
C G/B Am Am/G Fmaj7 G C
When you were my love at the Coney Island fair
[Chorus 1]
C G/B Am Am/G Fmaj7 G
Please say to me you'll have flowers in your hair
C G/B Am Am/G Fmaj7 G C
I'll be right on time for the Coney Island fair
