Song

Fifty years after the fair/Aimee Mann
Intro: D A Em Em/F# G
Fifty years after the fair the picture I have is so clear 
Underneath the clouds in the air rose the tyrlon and the perisphere
And that for me was the finest of scenes 
That perfect world across the river in queens   
Fifty years after the fair I drink from a different cup 
But it does no good to compare 'cause nothing ever measures up
I guess just for a second we thought 
That all good things would rise to the top   
chorus:
But how beautiful it was - 'tomorrow'
We'll never have a day of sorrow 
We got through the '30's, but our belts were tight 
We conceived of a future with no hope in sight
We've got decades ahead of us to get it right
I swear - fifty years after the fair  

solo

D A Em Em/F# G 2x
    
      
Fifty years after the fair I live in tomorrow town 
Even on a wing and a prayer The future never came around
It hurts to even think of those days 
The damage we do by the hopes that we raise   

chorus

A Em Em/F# G D [repeat]
