VANITY FAIR

Words: Simon
Music: Jonas

Intro:
"Vanity of vanities"
Saith the Preacher, "all is vanity.
What profit hath a man of all his labor
Which he taketh under the sun."
"Vanity of vanities"
Saith the Lord, "all is vanity.
I have seen all the works
That are done under the sun;
And behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit."

Chorus:
(Dm)-(C)-(Dm)-(F)Ohhh, (Dm)come on down to the (C)Vanity Fair,
(Dm)Early Sunday morning they'll (F)all be there.
(Dm)Come on down to the (C)Vanity Fair,
But (Dm)don't forget to wear your suit
And (G7)cut your hair.

(Dm)All week long, they (C)sing a work song.
Then (Dm)early Sunday morning
They try to (F)rectify their wrong
(Dm)Down to Gomorrah Street they (C)trudge along,
To (Dm)hear some organist play a (G7)lullaby song.
(Dm)Sleep on. (C)Sleep on. (Dm)Sleep on. (F)Sleep on.
Oh the (Dm)Bride has strayed a(C)way from the Bridegroom,
Be(Dm)cause of that, (F)things will go "Boom".
(Dm)Destruction and (C)hell-fire coming;
(Dm)Look out preacher, ain't no (G7)need in you running.

[Repeat Chorus]

You (Dm)can't escape the (C)damnation of Hell.
'Cause (Dm)people about Jesus (F)you didn't tell.
(Dm)Run preacher, ain't no (C)need in you trying,
You're (Dm)gonna pay for (G7)all your lying.
(Dm)Run, run, where you (C)gonna hide?
You (Dm)shouldn't have told
All those (F)dirty filthy lies.
(Dm)Run preacher, no you (C)cannot stand.
(Dm)God's got His judgment rod (G7)right at hand.

[Repeat Chorus then end]
