Chords

[Intro] D D [Verse 1]
        D
Oh, the night was clear

        G
and the stars were shinin'

        D
and the moon came up,

   A     /      D
so quiet in the sky

    D
And all the people gathered round

          G
while the band was a-tunin'

      D
I can hear them now

         A        /         D
playin' 'Comin' Through the Rye'
[Verse 2]
        D
She was dressed in blue

        G
and she looked so lovely

  D
a gentle flower

     A    /     D
of a small town girl

        D
Then he took her hand

         G
and they danced to the music

       D
with a single smile

      A   /    D
she became his world
[Chorus]
         D
And they danced all night

       G
to the fiddle and the banjo

      D
their driftin' tunes,

          A   /    D
seemed to fill the air

   D
So long ago,

         G
but they still remember

          D
when they fell in love,

       A    /    D
at the Roseville Fair
[Verse 3]
          D
Now, they courted well,

         G
and they courted dearly

       D
They'd rock for hours

       A     /     D
in the front porch chair

       D
Then a year went by

         G
from the time that he met her

       D
and he made her his,

       A    /    D
at the Roseville Fair
[Chorus]
       D
And they danced all night

       G
to the fiddle and the banjo

      D
their driftin' tunes,

          A   /    D
seemed to fill the air

   D
So long ago,

         G
but they still remember

          D
when they fell in love,

       A    /    D
at the Roseville Fair
[Bridge]
   G
So here's a song

    D
for all of the lovers

    G
and here's a tune

     D
that you can share
[Ending Chorus]
        D
May you dance all night

       G
to the fiddle and the banjo

        D
Oh, the way they did

       A    /    D
at the Roseville Fair

        D
Oh, the way they did

       A    /    D
at the Roseville Fair
