The Fool I Am by Michael Claytor
The Fool I Am
Capo: 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
C/E D/F# G C
I've spent five years in prison and you seldom even visit but you do
G C
You tell me you don't care, the lipstick that you wear tells me you do
G C
The papers you wont sign, the empty dotted line, they're the reason you wont say we're through
G C
Cause deep inside you're mine, if you dig you're gonna find that all I did I did for you
C G
Wait and see I'm holdin' on for you
C G
Be five more years and I'll take you somewhere new
G7
And if you change your heart and find another
C C#m7b5
I will bend these bars to get to you my lover
G D C G C/G G
It takes a fool to do but a fool I am for you
[Verse 2]
G C
A fool you called it rightly, prison suits you nicely, yes it's true
G C
It's not the ring I care for, it's just to have you there for me, it's true
G
They caught you stealin' jewelry, thought that you could fool me
C
you thought you fooled me last time too
G C
Three repeat offenses, ten years on your sentence I'll see you when a decade's through
C G
Fine by me but I'm holdin' out for you
C G
Five years here and I'm bound for somewhere new
G7
And if I steal away and they should catch me runnin'
C C#m7b5
I would sorely hope that you would be there gunnin'
G D C G C/G G
It takes a fool to do but a fool I am for you
[Instrumental]
G C G C (boom-chuck on root and fifth)
[Verse 3]
G C
Five years left on my sentence and I felt I'd served my penance so I tunneled my way through the wall
G C
You showed up lookin' dirty, I said "You're five years early, it's dinner time, you should have called."
G C
My chariot's a Pinto, ignore the broken window and then the pistol, baby doll.
G C
"You must be crazy, prison's made you lazy cause a pistol cant do nothin' at all."
C G
Take my hand I'm still in love with you
C G
With five years there and I'll take you somewhere new
G7
And if we burn the bridge over troubled water
C C#m7b5
I would steal the change it takes to call your father(mother)
G D C G C/G G
It takes a fool to do but a fool I am for you
G D C G C/G G D/F# G
It takes a fool to do but a fool I am for you
