Capo on the six fret.

Crowded afternoon and there's not enough room in the city today

C      G                  Bb        F            C         D
The people assembled to hear what resembled evangelists say

G
Some came just to see them for a laugh

           Bb F C      
Others to be free

C      G            Bb      
Fools must pretend to be wise

We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.



Same chords ..


Tears from the crowd with men crying aloud or just ringing their hands

The love in their hearts at this joining of people from far away lands

I'd so many questions I could ask

I wanted to be free

Fools must pretend to be wise

We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.



Cheers from the crowd for a much-loved constituent lately arrived

Here's to the soul of the man who takes toll for just staying alive

Can't ignore the feeling in the air

Glad that I was there

Fools must pretend to be wise

We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.



Evening drew on with a change of opinion from left wing and right

And North accused South who were left little doubt that they needed to fight

I cannot begin to understand

The suffering tonight

Fools must pretend to be wise

We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.
