Fools Gold by Ryan Adams I was dumbfounded that this wasn't already on here ?!? This song is bootleg from the outtakes on the Gold album. So tragic it never made onto the album... such a great song. Like so many of his best songs, never to see the light of day. I did it from ear, so suggestions are welcome. Standard Tuning/Capo 1st fret Intro: Bm A G x5 Bm Bm A G She wore a dress that Mara Lisa had sewn Bm A G And everybody just laughed Bm A G The boys were suited up on Mexican rose Bm A G They spilled their wine on their pants Bm A G A distant cousin of her brother had come Bm A G He tore the sheets from her bed Bm A G She felt the poison of the barreling sun Bm A G She felt the weight of his hands Bm D A G Fool's gold can buy you anything you want Bm A G Quick A Fool's gold, fool's gold Bm A G x2 Bm A G Her sister Hattie had a ship Bm A G But it had no sail Bm A G Her husband hit her and he split her lip Bm A G He said he'd kill her if he thought she would tell Bm A G The streets were empty on the 4th of July Bm A G The fires burned in the sticks Bm A G The bells were ringing from the church of the saints A Made of Mexican brick Bm D A G Fool's gold can buy you anything you want Bm A G Fool's gold, fool's gold Bm Fools Gold Bm A G x4 (over solo) Bm A G They watched her walk in from the roof of their house Bm A G She had a gun in her purse Bm A G Mara Lisa could have left on a train Bm A G She wasn't sure which was worse Bm A G Her brother Daniel knew a guy in the stretch Bm A G He had some horses and a grudge Bm A G The other option was a Mexican jail A And a crooked judge Bm D A G Fool's gold can buy you anything you want Bm A G Quick A Fool's gold, fool's gold Bm D A G Fool's gold can buy you anything you want Bm A G Fool's gold, fool's gold Bm Fools Gold Bm A G x4 (over solo) Bm A G They cast a shadow on the dusted remains Bm A G The broken bottles cut the earth Bm A G She saw a rifle sticking out of the brush Bm A G She grabbed the gun from her purse Bm A G Mara Lisa threw the sacks in the car Bm A G The bullets cut into the breeze Bm A G Fool's gold can buy you Mexican jewels A But it can't buy the police Bm D A G Fool's gold can buy you anything you want Bm A G Quick A Fool's gold, fool's gold Bm D A G Fool's gold can buy you anything you want Bm A G Fool's gold, fool's gold Bm Fools Gold Outro: Bm A G (fade out over solo)
