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

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