Biography:
Fairport Convention is often credited with being one of the first English folk rock bands. Formed in 1967, Fairport rapidly developed from playing cover versions of American 'west coast' music to an individual style which melded rock music with traditional English folk tunes and songs.
Like their peers The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and Jefferson Airplane they were blessed with several considerable individual talents and produced music that -at least initially- was eclectic, as well as exploratory.

[Intro]
D A D G D A D G
Em7 D A D G D
[Verse]
D A D G D A D
Everyone can hear the music
G
You can taste the mood of the wine
Em7 D A D A
Getting high on the beer and the atmosphere of a good time
D A D G D A D
You can hear everyone laughing
G
Like they've got something to share
Em7 D A D G D Bm
Cigarette smoke and bad jokes hang in the air
[Verse]
A
But Ginnie doesn't hear it
G D Em
I wonder does she realise
D G A Bm
She's sitting there with that faraway look in her eyes
A
Where she goes, she doesn't say
G D
But she'll leave you way behind
Em D G A
Going nowhere, soon, she'll be somewhere else in her mind
[Chorus]
D G
But if the music is right
D G Em
And the rhythm is light
G D A D G D
Ginnie will dance the jig tonight
[Verse]
D A D G D A D
Soon we'll all be singing
G
The chorus from some old song
Em7 D A D A
Guitars, fiddles, everything playing along
D A D G D A D
We'll all be hitting the high note
G
When the piano begins to play
Em7 D A D G D Bm
All those songs we hate, but we sing them anyway
[Verse]
A
But Ginnie doesn't hear it
G D Em
It's that moment when she goes
D G A Bm
Some place in her mind nobody knows
A
Her laughter's gone, her smile is faded
G D
She loses it all and then
Em D G A
That something forgotten comes back now and again
[Chorus]
D G
But if the music is right
D G Em
And the rhythm is light
G D A D
Ginnie will dance the jig tonight
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
A
There are people talking everywhere
G D Em
But Ginnie's all alone
D G A Bm
She's locked up in that little world of her own
A
You can look into her eyes
G D
But there's something you won't see
Em D G A
A forgotten moment of some old memory
[Chorus]
D G
But if the music is right
D G Em
And the rhythm is light
G D A D G Em
Ginnie will dance the jig tonight
G D A D
Ginnie will dance the jig tonight
