We proudly welcome
     Cm   Gm    F
Tony Orlando
               Bb      Cm       F
the State Fair marquee reads.

                     Bb    Eb
Inside a thousand people
                C   F
with yellow ribbons sing,
                Bb  Eb         Ebm
and clap on one and three.

C         F
Watch him burn
                 Eb
he's dropping to his knees.
D         F
Watch him burn
          Eb
a medley: hits from Grease.

Watch him burn

Once again followed by F for half a bar.

               Bb     Cm
Meanwhile in Tahoe,
F            Gm       F
outside Casa Tony,
         Bb     Cm      F
wet rags of gasoline.

                        Gm    Eb
A jealous Frankie Valli says
             C   F
"Dawn I want you back,"
                          Bb Cm       Bb  Ebm  
lights a match and counts to three.

C        F        Gm
Watch it burn,
            Eb
reluctantly he leaves.
D        F
Watch it burn,
   Gm      Eb
acrid smoke making him wheeze.
Am       F        G
Watch it burn,
         Eb            Cm   Bb
Humming "Sherry" splits the scene.

acrid smoke making him wheeze.
         Bb
Watch it burn,
Gm       Eb                 Bb
Humming "Sherry" splits the scene.
