Someone else’s fancy
Ricard Thompson: ”RT” Disc 5– ’Something here worth more than gold’ (2006).

Intro:F#m F#m/E F#m F#m/E F#m F#m/E F#m

I went to the fair to win me a shilling
                            A
and catch the girl with the fishes tail.
F#m
All I won was a bearded lady,
                       A
And all I caught was a humpback-whale.
A+      C#dim        D         D/C#
I was a boy with the finest intentions.
       Bm        Bm/A      D    (d-c#-b)*
Just a victim of somebodys mind.

Ref:
A+         C#dim        D           D/C#
That was a time when my pockets did jingle and
Bm
jangle.
         F#m/// E                 F#m/// E
Now it’s gone – thrown away. It’s gone - thrown away.
   F#m     F#m/E  F#m   F#m/E
On someone else’s fancy.

2)
I went  to the market to sell Lucky heaven
and buy a dance with the carnival queen.		.
All I sold was an egg to a chicken,
and danced with the strangest girl I’ve ever seen.
The people were dressed up in funny disguises
and crawling around on the floor.

Ref.

3)
I went to the races to look for a winner
and loose my heart to the belle of the day
All I found was a hole in the ground,
and I lost my shirt on this three-legged bay.
There was a rich girl, but she couldn’t see me
with blinkers up over her eyes.

Ref.

4
I went to the priest and I said: ”Please forgive me!”
I had a dream that turned out such a lout.
All I want is a brief confrontation
on this thing that everyone’s talking about.
The priest waved his finger and he said:”How’s your fathers”.
And we walked away hand in hand.

Ref.
Break:

        F#m  F#m/E D          C
And the wind blows through my purse,and I'm
Bb          Bb/A  Bb/G  Bb/F
cursing the day
       E       Esus4  E   Esus4
that I threw it away
     F#m     F#m/E  F#m   F#m/E...
- on someone else’s fancy
