| It wasn't the Paris moon where we spent our honeymoon, |
C F |
| It was that night in June at the Dover Fair |
F Bb F |
| We thought we had it made, bought you a lemonade, |
C F |
| Played games at the old arcade - we didn't have a care |
F Bb F |
| But now we've got credit cards, Visa and Master Charge |
C F |
| How did it get so hard from here to there? |
F Bb F |
| If I had a time machine, I'd show you'd see just what I mean |
C F |
| Back in those fields of green at the Dover Fair |
F Bb F |
| Hot July in a swimming pool, never thought of summer school |
C F |
| Man it was cool, with magic in the air |
F Bb F |
| Birds whistled a special song, telling us that we belonged |
C F |
| And the farther I went along I wanted my share |
F Bb F |
| Of the valleyes and the mountainsides where we went for a ride, |
C F |
| I loved it - I cannot lie, I wish I was there |
F Bb F |
| Gazing at the peaceful scene, oh the creek was so serene, |
C F |
| Like some kind of dream in my mind somewhere |
F Bb F |
| But now we have credit cards, Visa and Master Charge |
C F |
| How did it get so hard from here to there? |
F Bb F |
| If I had a time machine, I'd show you'd see just what I mean |
C F |
| Back in those fields of Green at the Dover Fair |
