Steeleye Span – Copshawholme Fair (Guitar)

Bm
On a fine eve'n fair in the month of Avril

          Em          Dadd2        Bmadd4/C#     Cmaj7
O'er the hill came the man with the blythe sunny smile

         Bm
And the folks they were throngin' the roads everywhere

                  D6/A   Emadd9  Bm7/F# Bm
Makin' haste to be in at Copshawholme Fair

      Bm
I've seen 'em a-comin' in from the mountains and glens

      Em          Dadd2      Bmadd4/C#      Cmaj7
Those rosy-faced lasses and strappin' young men

        Bm
With a joy in their heart and unburdened o' care

                D6/A     Emadd9  Bm7/F# Bm
A'meetin' old friends at Copshawholme Fair

           Bm
There are lads for the lasses, there's toys for the bairns

       Em            Dadd2     Bmadd4/C#      Cmaj7
There jugglers and tumblers and folks with no arms

          Bm
There's a balancing act here and a fiddler there

                      D6/A         Emadd9  Bm7/F# Bm
There are nut-men and spice-men at Copshawholme Fair

           Bm
There are peddlers and potters and gingerbread stands

          Em             Dadd2              Bmadd4/C#  Cmaj7
There are peepshows and poppin-darts and the green caravans

         Bm
There's fruit from all nations exhibited there

                       D6/A     Emadd9  Bm7/F# Bm
With kale plants from Orange at Copshawholme Fair

         Bm
Now the hirin's o'er and off they all sprang

Em        Dadd2         Bmadd4/C#       Cmaj7
Into the ballroom for to join in the throng

        Bm
And "I Never Will Lie With My Mammy Nae Mair"

                  D6/A      Emadd9  Bm7/F# Bm
The fiddles play briskly at Copshawholme Fair
