Fairport Convention – Ginnie (Guitar)

D            A    D   G D   A D
Everyone can hear the music

                              G
You can taste the mood of the wine

        Em7                      D               A         D A
Getting high on the beer and the atmosphere of a good time

D            A    D   G    D   A D
You can hear everyone laughing

                              G
Like they've got something to share

Em7       D                   A           D   G D   Bm
Cigarette smoke and bad jokes hang in the air

                   A
But Ginnie doesn't hear it

  G                   D    Em
I wonder does she realise

              D               G                   A      Bm
She's sitting there with that faraway look in her eyes

                    A
Where she goes, she doesn't say

           G               D
But she'll leave you way behind

      Em       D               G                     A
Going nowhere, soon, she'll be somewhere else in her mind

           D        G
But if the music is right

        D         G      Em
And the rhythm is light

   G        D         A     D     G D
Ginnie will dance the jig tonight

D          A   D  G   D   A D
Soon we'll all be singing

                         G
The chorus from some old song

Em7               D                   A    D A
Guitars, fiddles, everything playing along

D            A       D   G    D    A D
We'll all be hitting the high note

                         G
When the piano begins to play

          Em7      D                      A  D   G D   Bm
All those songs we hate, but we sing them anyway

                   A
But Ginnie doesn't hear it

          G               D     Em
It's that moment when she goes

     D            G           A      Bm
Some place in her mind nobody knows

                         A
Her laughter's gone, her smile is faded

    G                D
She loses it all and then

     Em           D      G                   A
That something forgotten comes back now and again

           D        G
But if the music is right

        D         G      Em
And the rhythm is light

   G        D         A     D
Ginnie will dance the jig tonight

                         A
There are people talking everywhere

    G             D     Em
But Ginnie's all alone

             D          G                   A     Bm
She's locked up in that little world of her own

               A
You can look into her eyes

            G                   D
But there's something you won't see

     Em     D         G            A
A forgotten moment of some old memory

           D        G
But if the music is right

        D         G      Em
And the rhythm is light

   G        D         A     D       G  Em
Ginnie will dance the jig tonight

   G        D         A     D
Ginnie will dance the jig tonight
