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

pretty simple anyway), but email me with questions.
