Fairport Convention – Madeleine (Guitar)

                       G                     C
She was standing there, at the country fair

                     G                   C
Sun was on her hair, I could only stare

                       F
From the moment when I saw her dancing

        C               G     C
Well, I knew she had to be my bride

                  G                    C
It was summertime, I was feeling fine

                           G                      C
Would she join the line? I took her hand in mine

                        F
From the moment when we danced together there

  C               G     C
I knew she was to be my bride

   C
We danced in the sun together

C
Danced in the rain together

C                                              G
Danced when the other folk had gone upon their way

    C                       F
She danced into my heart in such a pretty way

  C               G     C
I knew she had to be my bride

                        G                        C
While the music played, dancing through the day

                     G                       C
We'd so much to say, time just slipped away

                       F
From the moment when I saw her dancing

        C               G     C
Well, I knew she had to be my bride

                         G                      C
She made my courage free, I sat her on my knee

                     G                    C
Made a lover's plea, would she marry me?

                        F
From the moment when we danced together then

  C               G     C
I knew she had to be my bride

We danced in the sun together

When she danced with me, I was full of glee

                  G            C
We could happily, as a family

                       F
From the moment when I saw her dancing

Came the wedding day, people bright and gay

                     G                    C
Music gently played, as our vows we made

                        F
From the moment when we danced together then
