Sligo Fair by Jonathan Kelly
Submitted by: monsterhihi

Capo on 2nd fret

Intro: Am7, Em7, Am7, Em7, Am7,
Am7, Em7

Am					                      Fmaj7
She goes down to meet her Mam(?), returning from the fields.

Am					             Fmaj7
A wicker basket on her arm and a spaniel at her heels.
	G		                 Am
   Bb	            Am     Em
And as she picks wild flowers she wonders should she go or stay.

	                 Am    Em     Am	    Em	      Am
Now that Sligo Fair is just a week away.


Am7  Em7  Am7  Em7

Am                                                 Fmaj7
Her mind is on the back seat of the traveller's caravan

Am	                                        F maj7
Headed for the city and to a new life she could plan.

          G		                          Am
      Am	          Em
With no more days of waiting for her man to name the day.

	                 Am    Em      Am      Em      Am
Now that Sligo Fair is just a week away.


BRIDGE

E		                     Emaj7	   A      E
Hard to be a woman in the country life.

	A		                                      E
                          E
She don't wanna be a milkmaid, she don't wanna be a milkmaid.


         Bbmaj7	Am7   D
She wants to be a wife...


Em7


Am                                                      Fmaj7
Way above the Northern coast, the seagulls circle high.

      Am				                                                 Fmaj7
As to the West the sinking sun spills gold across the sky.

	G			                                           Am
       Bb       Am        Em
And homeward wends the Friesian herd to the ending of their day.

	Am            Em      Am      Em       Am
And Sligo Fair is just a week away.

BRIDGE


E		                    Emaj7	  A	   E
Hard to be a woman in the country life.

	A		                                     E
                          E
She don't wanna be a milkmaid, she don't wanna be a milkmaid.

         Bbmaj7 Am7   D
She wants to be a wife...

Em7

Am                                                      Fmaj7
She goes down to meet her Mam, returning from the fields.

      Am	                                     Fmaj7
A wicker basket on her arm and a spaniel at her heels.

        G			                           Am
    Bb            Am     Em
And as she picks wild flowers she wonders should she go or stay.

	      Am               Em      Am
Now that Sligo Fair is just

 Am    Em      Am
Sligo Fair is just

Am     Em      Am		                  Fmaj7
Sligo Fair is just a week away.
