Pretty easy song, but the vocal \r\nmelody is nice.   The song is in G, with the chord progression I, vi, IV, V.  So G \r\nMajor, Em, C, D, like so:\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab]     [ch]G[/ch]\r\nThis time each year in our hometown[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]     [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nThe county fair comes our way[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]      [ch]C[/ch]                                            [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWhere the folks gather round to be happy and spend their day[/tab]\r\n\r\nAnd that chord progression is used the entire song.  At the very end,\"Yeah the big \r\nstrong guy knocked the bell in the sky\", it just bounces back between G Major and E minor \r\nevery two measures.\r\n\r\nThe guitar lick played occasionally (intro of the song and before verses come in) is the \r\n4th, 3rd,and 2nd of the scale, so:\r\n\r\n[tab]e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|\r\nB|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|\r\nG|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|\r\nD|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|\r\nA|-3-3-----------------------------------------------------------------------|\r\nE|--------7-7-----5-5--------------------------------------------------------|[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\nFor bassists (or guitarists too, I guess) that want to walk the bassline and play as \r\nBrian does in the song:\r\n\r\n[tab]G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|\r\nD|---------------------5-9-5---5-9-5------2-5-2---2-5-2-----4-7-4---4-7-4----|\r\nA|---2-5-2---2-5-2---7-------7----------3-------3---------5-------5----------|\r\nE|-3-------3-----------------------------------------------------------------|[/tab]\r\n\r\nWhich is just the standard 1st, 3rd, and 5th of each chord.
