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
