Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Foolish you, you want to go away,
Seeking fortune's favour on your own,
While the one who stays beside you
Foolish me, is left alone.
Chorus
Sad and foolish, that's how I feel,
Don't you know how fortune favours few?
Fortune's blind, as blind as you, my dear,
( First time only)
What a pity, ah, foolish you!
1st TIME: Bridge - F G C
2nd TIME: Instrumental same chords as verse
Leaving me this way is hardly fair,
Must I go seek a fortune too,
Or must I wait till folly finds its own way
Home to me and foolish you?
Loving you was good, love was kind,
I didn't mind the payments overdue,
For the price of loving is none too dear,
As long as I'm with foolish you.
(Slowly)
Sad and foolish, that's how I feel,
When I see the foolish way you do,
Fortune fails when you are gone my dear,
(Normal Speed)
But I still want more of foolish you,
I sti-ll wa-nt mo-re of foolish you.
