I Was A Fool To Care 
(James Taylor) 1975 
 
Em7 G7M A A/B , Em7 G7M A A#?7 
I was a fool to care,
 Em7 D7M 
I was a fool to care
 F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7 
I was a fool to care
 Em7 D7M 
but I don't care even if I was a fool
 Bm G7M F#m7 Em7 A4 A 
I'm still in love with you
 D7M F#7sus4 F#7 
Had I listened to the grapevine,
 Bm7 G7M F#m7 
I might have had my doubts
 Em7 A4 D7M 
But I did my level best just to block them out
 Bm7 G7M F#m7 Bm7 E7 D/F#  
"Cause love is so unwise and love has no eyes
 G A4 A7, D /c# /b /a} 
And it took a while for a fool to see
 G D 
what his friends were on about
 E4 E7 
I was a fool to care
 G A D 
I was a fool to care
 F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7 
I was a fool to care
 Em7 D7M 
but I don't care even if I was a fool
 Bm G7M F#m7 Em7 A4 A 
I'm still in love with you
 D Bm 
Imagining your face,
  C G 
it almost fills the empty space before me
 C Am7 D7M D 
I can see you eyes and almost hear your lovely lies
 C G F7M Em7 A7 

F#7sus4 F#7 
I wish I was an old man
 Bm7 G7M F#m7 
and love was through with me
  Em7 A4 D7M 
I wish I was a baby on my mama's knee
 Bm7 G7M F#m7 Bm7 E7 D/F# 
I wish I was a freight train moving down the line
 G A4 A7, D /c# /b /a}  
Just keeping track of time
  G D 
without all these memories
 Bm E7 
I was a fool to care
 G A D 
I was a fool to care
 F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7 
I was a fool to care
  Em7 D7M } 
but I don't care even if I was a fool
 Bm G7M F#m7 Em7 A4 A 
I'm still in love with you
 D F#7sus4 F#7 
Baby, yes, I am
 Bm7 Am7 G7M } 
I could have opened my eyes,
  F#m7 Em7 G7M A A/B 
I could have seen through your lies
  Em7 G7M A A/B 
I could have stood for no more,
   Em7 G7M A A/B 
I could have walked out the door 
 Em7 G7M A F#?7 
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
 Em7 D7M, F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7  
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
 Em7 D7M, F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7  
You weren't nothing but a fool to care; just a country fool to care.
