You Were the Fool
E
Bless the father bless the sun, cross your heart cause you’re the on
Asus4 E
Collecting moonbeams in the morning
E
Curvy sticks and wooden poles assisting you in plugging holes
Asus4 E
Plug them holes until you see straight through to the minds eye
D A
Think about it turn around and go back to the quiet sound
Am7 A6/7sus4
Of Jim and Dan prancing around the pool
E A E
You were the fool, and I feel sorry for you, you were the fool
D A E
But there’s something you can do
You can wash your arm in a pool of mud, you can chop a tree to prevent
a flood
You can speak with a turtle just by flipping him around
You can build a boat and sail the sea, you can buy a moat and forge a
key
Initiate the sequence, create catastrophe
CHORUS
REPEAT 1st VERSE
D A
Think about it turn around and go back to the quiet sound
Am7 A6/7sus4
Of Jim and Dan prancing around the pool
E A E
You were the fool, and I feel sorry for you, you were the fool
D C
E
But there’s something you can do you were the fool
