What A Fool Believes by The Doobie Brothers

Capo I

Intro  G  Am  Em  Am

                G                  Am
He came from somewhere back in her long ago.
Em                     Am
      The sentimental fool don't see
        G                         Am
Tryin' hard to recreate  what had yet to be created
Em               Am                  G
    once in her life  she musters a smile
           Am            Em                  Am                    G
For his nostalgic tale        Never coming near what he wanted to say
            Am     Em                  Am
Only to realize        It never really was...

Am                      G
She had a place in his life
Am                 G
He never made her think twice
        Am (hold)
As she rises to her apology
         G(hold)           Am
Anybody else would surely know
                  G
He's watching her go

                  F              Bb
But what a fool believes     he sees
                    Eb                    Cm
No wise man has the power       to reason away
      Fm          Bb
What seems      to be
                         Eb
Is always better than nothing
               Cm
And nothing at all keeps sending him...


G                      Am
Somewhere back in her long ago

Em                       Am                            G
    Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
          Am       Em              Am
Someday, somewhere,      she will return...


Am                      G
She had a place in his life
Am                       G
He never made her think twice
         Am (hold)
As she rises to her apology
         G (hold)          Am
Anybody else would surely know
                  G
He's watching her go

                  F              Bb
But what a fool believes     he sees
                    Eb                    Cm
No wise man has the power       to reason away
      Fm          Bb
What seems      to be
                         Eb
Is always better than nothing
               Cm
And nothing at all

                  F              Bb
But what a fool believes     he sees
                    Eb                    Cm
No wise man has the power       to reason away
      Fm          Bb
What seems      to be
                         Eb
Is always better than nothing
               Cm
And nothing at all (repeat to fade)


Eb = x11231


Keep the strumming simple.  Plain old 8th notes.  This version omits all the the walking 
bass lines and gets to the straight chords.  Any corrections/comments are welcome.
