Only A Fool Would Say That by Steely Dan
Only A Fool Would Say That
Intro: Dm7 C/C6 2x
N.C. Dm7
A world become one of salads and sun
C/C6
Only a fool would say that
Dm7
A boy with a plan; a natural man
C/C6
Wearin' a white Stetson hat
Am F
Unhand that gun begone
Em7 Dm7
There's no one to fire upon
Dm7 Am
If he's holding it high, he's telling a lie
(Chorus:)
Dm7
I heard it was you
Am Am/G D/F#
Talkin' 'bout a world where all is free
F
It just couldn't be
C C6
And only a fool would say that
Dm7
The man in the street, draggin' his feet
C/C6
Don't wanna hear the bad news
Dm7
Imagine your face there in his place
C/C6
Standin' inside his brown shoes
Am F
You do his nine to five,
Em7 Dm7
Drag yourself home half-alive
Dm7 Am
And there on the screen, a man with a dream
(Chorus)
E7sus4 E7 Am Am/G Am/F Am/E
Anybody on the street has murder in his eyes
Dm E Am D F C/C6
You'll feel no pain, and you're younger than you realize
Dm7
Only a fool would say that
Am Am/G Am/F Am/E Dm7
Only a foooooooooooooooooool
(Guitar Solo: Dm7 Am7 Em7 Dm7 C6)
Dm7
I heard it was you
Am Am/G D/F#
Talkin' 'bout a world where all is free
F
It just couldn't be
C C6
And only a fool would say that
Dm7
Only a fool would say that
F C6
Only a fool would say that
