Oh
the night was clear and the stars were shining
Am (1) D7 (1) G (2)

the moon came up so quiet
in the sky
G (1½) C (½) G

All
the people gathered 'round, and the band was a-tuning
Am (1) D7 (1) G (2)
I
can hear them now playing
"Coming Through the Rye"
G (1½) C (½) G

You
were dressed in blue, and you looked so lovely
Am (1) D7 (1) G (2)
Just
a gentle flower of a small-town
girl
G (1½) C (½) G (2)
You
took my hand, and we stepped to the music
Am (1) D7 (1)
G
(2)
With
a single smile, you became
my world

(1) C (½) G (1) D7 (1)
And we danced all ni -

So long ag

When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair

Now
we courted well, and we courted dearly
Am (1) D7 (1) G (2)
And
we'd rock for hours, on the front-porch chair
G (1½) C (½) G (2)
Then
a year went by, from the time that I met you
Am (1) D7 (1)
G
(2)
And
I made you mine, at the
Roseville Fair
Chorus
G (1½) C (½) G (2)
Well
the years went by, to fast to count them
Am (1) D7 (1) G (2)
Now
there's streaks of gray in your
auburn hair
G (1½) C (½) G (2)
But
you're dearer now than the night when I met you
Am (1) D7 (1) G (2)
And
we fell in love at the
Roseville Fair

So here's a so - ng, for all of the
love - rs
C (½) C/B (½) Am (1) G
(2)
And here's a tune, that they can share
C (½) G
(1) C (½) G (1) D7 (1)
May they dance all ni -
ght to the fiddle and the banj

C (½) C/B

The way we did, at the Roseville Fair
