Intro: D5 C5 C5 2x 
 
N/C/           D5 
A world become one of salads and sun 
       C5  C5 
Only a fool would say that 
              D5 
A boy with a plan; a natural man 
           C5  C5 
Wearin' a white Stetson hat 
A5           F5 
Unhand that gun begone 
E5               D5 
There's no one to fire upon 
        D5                              A5 
If he's holding it high, he's telling a lie 
 
(Chorus:) 
               D5 
I heard it was you 
                 A5         A5   D5 
Talkin' 'bout a world where all is free 
                 F5 
It just couldn't be 
             C5                   C5 
And only a fool would say that 
 

                D5 
The man in the street, draggin' his feet 
            C5   C5 
Don't wanna hear the bad news 
             D5 
Imagine your face there in his place 
           C5    C5 
Standin' inside his brown shoes 
A5          F5 
You do his nine to five, 
E5                 D5 
Drag yourself home half-alive 
    D5                                     A5 
And there on the screen, a man with a dream 
 
(Chorus) 
 

E5  E5                A5    A5    A5   A5 
Anybody on the street has murder in his eyes 
       D5   E5  A5                 D5               F5       C5   C5 
You'll feel no pain, and you're younger than you realize 
       D5 
Only a fool would say that 
       A5 A5 A5 A5 D5 
Only a foooooooooooooooooool 
 
(Guitar Solo: 
D5 A5 E5 D5 C5 ) 
 
               D5 
I heard it was you 
                A5          A5   D5 
Talkin' 'bout a world where all is free 
                 F5 
It just couldn't be 
            C5             C5 
And only a fool would say that 
        D5 
Only a fool would say that 
        F5                    C5 
Only a fool would say that
