Fair Play - Van Morrison
From the album "Veedon Fleece"
Areas where Bm is used can be replaced or interspersed with Bm7 and likewise with A and
Amaj7. Van plays around alot with variants on the chords so below is the absolute framework.
Intro: Amaj7
[A]Fair play to you
[A]Killarney's lakes are so blue
[Bm]And the architecture I'm taking in with my mind
[A]So fine
[A]Tell me of Poe
[A]Oscar Wilde and Thoreau
[Bm]Let your midnight and your daytime turn into
[A]love of life
It's a very fine [A]line
[A]But you've got the mind child
[Bm]To carry on, when it's just about to be
[A]Carried on
And there's o[Bm]nly one meadow's way to go
And you say G[A]eronimo
There's o[Bm]nly one meadow's way to go
And you say [A]Geronimo
[A]A paperback book
[A]As we walk down the street
[Bm]Fill my mind with tales of mystery, mystery...
[A]And imagination
[A]Forever fair
[A]And I'm touching your hair
[Bm]I wish we could be dreamers in this dream, oh
[A]Let it dream
And there's o[Bm]nly one meadow's way to go
And you say "G[A]eronimo"
And there's on[Bm]ly one meadow's way to go
And you say "G[A]eronimo"
[A]Fair play to you
[A]Killarney's lakes are so blue
[Bm]High-ho silver, tit for tat
And I l[A]ove you for that
High-ho s[Bm]ilver, tit for tat
And I l[A]ove you for that, love you for that, love you for that
H[Bm]igh-ho silver, tit for tat, tit for tat
And I l[A]ove you for that
High-ho s[Bm]ilver, tit for tat, hah!
Yeah, yeah
And I l[A]ove you for that
And theres o[Bm]nly one meadow's way to go
And I, and I say G[A]eronimo
And there's o[Bm]nly one meadow's way to go
And we say Ge[A]ronimo
Geronimo
And there's o[Bm]nly one meadow's way to go
And we say Ger[A]onimo
And there's on[Bm]ly one meadow's way to go
And we say Ger[A]onimo
