[Intro]
D A G# G
D Bm D Bm D Bm
[Verse 1]
A G# G D
The last night of the fair
Bm D Bm
by the big wheel generator
D Bm A
a boy is stabbed and his money is grabbed and the air hangs heavy like a
G# G D Bm
dulling wine
D Bm D Bm
She is famous she is funny and engagement ring doesn't mean anything
A G# G D Bm D Bm D Bm
to a mind consumed by brass and money
[Chorus]
A G# G D
And though I walk home alone
Bm D Bm D Bm
and I walk home alone
A G# G D Bm D Bm D Bm
but my faith in love is still devout…
[Verse 2]
A G# G D
The last night of the fair
Bm D Bm
from a seat on a whirling waltzer
D Bm
her skirt ascends for a watching eye
A G# G D
it's a hideous trait (on her mother's side)
Bm D Bm
from a seat on a whirling waltzer
D Bm
her skirt ascends for a watching eye
A G# G
it's a hideous trait (on her mother's side)
[Chorus]
A G# G D
And though I walk home alone
Bm D Bm D Bm
and I walk home alone
A G# G D Bm D Bm D Bm
but my faith in love is still devout…
[Verse 3]
A G# G D
then someone falls in love
Bm D Bm
and someone's beaten up
D
someone's beaten up
A G# G D
and the senses being dulled are mine
Bm D Bm
then someone falls in love
D Bm
and someone's beaten up
A G# G D
and the senses being dulled are mine
[Chorus]
A G# G D
And though I walk home alone
Bm D Bm D Bm
and I walk home alone
A G# G D Bm D Bm D
but my faith in love is still devout…
[Verse 4]
Bm A G# G D
this is the last night of the fair
Bm D
and the grease in the hair
Bm D Bm
of a speedway operator
A G# G D
is all a tremulous heart requires
Bm D
a schoolgirl is denied
Bm D Bm
she said: "How quickly would I die
A G# G D
if I jumped from the top of the parachutes?"
Bm D Bm D Bm

[Bridge]
G D Bm D Bm
scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen
D Bm A G#
(this means you really love me)
G D Bm D Bm
scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen
D Bm A G# G
(this means you really love me)
[Chorus]
A G# G D
And though I walk home alone
Bm D Bm D Bm
I just might walk home alone
A G# G D
but my faith in love is still devout…
Bm D Bm D Bm
I might walk home alone
A G# G D
but my faith in love is still devout…
Bm D Bm D Bm
I might walk home alone
A G# G D
but my faith in love is still devout…
