Intro: D A Em Em/F# G
DAEmEm/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
EmAGD
And that for me was the finest of scenes
EmAGG
That perfect world across the river in queens
DAEmEm/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
EmAGD
I guess just for a second we thought
EmAGG
That all good things would rise to the top
chorus:
BmGD
But how beautiful it was - 'tomorrow'
BmGDA
We'll never have a day of sorrow
EmEm/F#GA
We got through the '30's, but our belts were tight
We conceived of a future with no hope in sight
EmEm/F#C
We've got decades ahead of us to get it right
EmBbCG
I swear - fifty years after the fair
(solo)
D A Em Em/F# G 2x
EAGDEAGDAGDAEmEm/F#G
Fifty years after the fair I live in tomorrow town
Even on a wing and a prayer The future never came around
EmAGD
It hurts to even think of those days
EmAGG
The damage we do by the hopes that we raise
(chorus)
A Em Em/F# G D (repeat)
