Country Faire Lyrics

CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: G-D-G C G G-D-G C D G C D G-D-C-D-C-D-G
In the shadow of the cottonwoods, grass don't grow
And it's well you know the reason why
As we stepped out together at the country faire
To dance away the cool from a cool spring night
Your hair, spun gold, floated like a reed
That dances on a crystal pond
And we fell in love at the country faire
When we danced to greet the dawn
And I never was much of the frugal sort
I never made the rent on time
But I've two strong hands to support myself
To spin in your arms or to spend my dime
Never been much for the candy or the flowers
But I'm always gonna treat you right
'Cause we fell in love at the country faire
When we danced away the night
CHORUS:
C ~ Am
And it's spin and twirl
Is that all you can do in this crazy world?
Spin and twirl, 'til you spin your life away
And you were never much the impulsive sort
You think before you make your moves
It's head up high, stand up tall
Never give an inch, never wanna lose
Solid as a rock, fluid as the water
When the band begins to play
And we fell in love at the country faire
When we danced 'til break of day
INSTRUMENTAL: G-D-G C G G-D-G C D G C D G-D-C-D-C-D-G
So, in the shadow of the cottonwoods, grass don't grow
And it's well you know the reason why
As we stepped out together at the country faire
To dance away the cool from a cool spring night
Your hair, spun gold, floated like a reed
That dances on a crystal pond
And we danced all night 'neath the cottonwood trees
And that is why the grass is gone
CHORUS:
C ~ Am
And it's spin and twirl
Is that all you can do in this crazy world?
Spin and twirl, 'til you spin your life away
CHORUS:
C ~ Am
And it's spin and twirl
C ~ Am
Spin and twirl
C ~ Am D C-G-Am-Am-D-G
Spin and twirl, 'til you spin your life away
