about

Oh boy, do I love me the North Country Fair! This song touches on some of my favourite things about the Fair, but there is no substitute for experience. Get your ass out there and make sure you bring your happy pants. And maybe some bugspray. And drinks that come in cans, not glass. Maybe go to the website for a full list of what to bring and what not to bring to the North Country Fair.

lyrics

Verse riff: G G/B C G/B C G/B A D

I’m on my way to the Fair to see
My friends and I’m gonna eat, drink and be merry
I’m a sit by a fire and play some of my favourite tunes
I’ll bet that you’re higher, I could tell just by lookin’ at you

(run into prechorus is C B G E)

Am D
And I’m gonna need to know
G DEm D C
What time did I say we should head to that show
D (let ring)
It’s not that far to go, to the

GC
North Country let’s get out by some trees and
Em D
We’ll make friends we never knew, at the
GC
North Country Fair there are fun things
Em D
For you and I and everyone to do
DG
Come to the Fair and you’ll love North Country too

Solo (same as verse riff, run into prechorus is C B G F#)

Em D
If I run out of beer
Em C
I know that you will have my back
Em D
You brought more than me this year
C
But I’ve got a shot of whiskey
C
Shoot it back and don’t you worry
Still C D (stop)
The end is almost here, of the

North Country you won’t need tons of money
Like that silly trip to Bonaroo, it will be
More funny than a barrel of monkeys
If you have friends something like I do, in the

(come back in)

North Country it could get dusty
Or muddy cause it often rains in June, at the
North Country Fair I hope that I will see you there
And when it’s done we’ll come back soon
To the Fair cause you love North Country too
Yeah ya do
Ain’t it true
Hey guess what me too
