C             D        Em
Once stood a man on my face
F             G     F
Ooh yeah, on my face
C           D          Em F
Gobbled him up 'cause my taste
G                  F
Leaves nothing to waste

Chorus:
Cmaj7                   F
Hear the riddle that I say
Cmaj7                   G7
Hear the riddle that I say
         C       A
What is fair is fair
         Dm        F
That is fair and square
    Cm F# F Cm F# F
to me

Piano it marks the good pace
Ooh yeah, the good pace
Don't know if it's right, but I like the bass
So turn up the bass

Chorus:
Cmaj7                      F
Hear the fiddles as they play
Cmaj7                      G7
Hear the fiddles as they play
         C       A
What is fair is fair
         Dm      F
And the guitar player

No metal, no brick, was no trace
Oh, no, was no trace
But machines moved on and still chased
No particular place

Chorus:
Cmaj7                   F
Hear the riddle that I say
Cmaj7                  G7
Hear the riddle that I say
         C       A
What is fair is fair
         Dm        F
That is fair and square
    Cm F# F Cm F# F
to me
G        C       A
What is fair is fair
         Dm        F
That is fair and square
 G   C
to me
