Fifty Years After The Fair chords by Aimee Mann

Fifty years after the fair/Aimee Mann

Intro: D A Em Em/F# G
        D       A      Em   Em/F#         G
Fifty years after the fair the picture I have is so clear

Underneath the clouds in the air rose the tyrlon and the perisphere
    Em      A        G       D
And that for me was the finest of scenes

 Em         A            G      D     A  G
That perfect world across the river in queens

         D       A      Em   Em/F#         G
Fifty years after the fair I drink from a different cup

But it does no good to compare 'cause nothing ever measures up
  Em    A        G       D
I guess just for a second we thought

 Em         A            G      D     A  G
That all good things would rise to the top

chorus:
 Bm      G            D
But how beautiful it was - 'tomorrow'

 Bm      G       D     A
We'll never have a day of sorrow

   Em           Em/F#        G        A
We got through the '30's, but our belts were tight

We conceived of a future with no hope in sight
        Em       Em/F#        C
We've got decades ahead of us to get it right

  Em      Bb    C          D   G
I swear - fifty years after the fair


solo:
D A Em Em/F# G 2x
Em A G D
Em A G D A G

        D       A      Em   Em/F#         G
Fifty years after the fair I live in tomorrow town

Even on a wing and a prayer The future never came around
    Em      A        G       D
It hurts to even think of those days

 Em         A            G      D     A  G
The damage we do by the hopes that we raise


chorus:

A Em Em/F# G D repeat:
