[INTRO]
[D] [A] [G] [E] [F#m] [G] [A]
[VERSE]
The [D]month of October, [G]nights drawing [D]in
A crescent moon [A]hung in the [D]sky
Smoke out of chimneys, a [G]frost on the [D]ground
[G]Nothing is [Em7]passing us [A]by.[G] .
[VERSE]
[D]Me and a friend, with an evening to [G]spare
My [D]shirt collar whiter then [G]white
We talked our way [A]down to the [D]middle of [G]town
With the [D]music and [A]movement and [D]light
[VERSE]
I rode the big wheel and got [G]stuck at the [D]top
With the loveliest [A]girl at the [D]fair
We had a different view of the [G]old town hall [D]clock
As we [G]swung to-and-[Em7]fro in the [A]air[G] ..
[VERSE]
[D]Shot on the rifle range, knocked them all [G]down
[D]Missed at the coconut [G]shy
Closed eyes on the[A] waters, we're [D]spinning so [G]fast
We [D]thought we were [A]going to [D]die
[CHORUS]
At the [A]Talk Of The Town, you've [G]got to be old enough
[D]Down by the boxing booth, [G]acting all [A]rough and tough
The [D]thrills and the spills of it, I had my [G]share
We were [D]coming to[Bm7]gether for [A]Banbury [D]Fair
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[D] [A] [G] [E] [F#m] [G] [A]
[VERSE]
To the [D]Teller Of Fate, we [G]both had a [D]go
To see if she [A]proved to be [D]wrong
We palmed her with silver, held [G]onto our [D]breath
She [G]gazed in her [Em7]huge crystal [A]bal[G]l..
[VERSE]
"[D]Seeing an animal, seven hands [G]high
[D]Galloping wild and [G]free
Now the picture is [A]fading, I [D]see nothing [G]more
But a [D]very good [A]omen, you'll [D]see"

[G] [A] [D] [G] [D] [A] [D] [A]
[VERSE]
We [D]bet on a horse, promised another win
[D]With the name on our ticket, Live Duck
So slow, even slower, she [G]was the last [D]post
[D]I thought we were in with some luck
[VERSE]
[D]Jumping into the air, "Damn, you bet mine"
A winner right out of the [G]blue
Our hearts were in [A]laughter as we [D]both rea[G]lised
[D]That's what the [A]old gypsy[D] knew
[CHORUS]
At the [A]Talk Of The Town, you've [G]got to be old enough
[D]Down by the boxing booth, [G]acting all [A]rough and tough
The [D]thrills and the spills of it, I had my [G]share
