Foolkiller

F#m (244222@1)                                    C#maj7 (x43111@1)
Once there was a boy who left the bed he slept in.
F#m (244222@1)                                  C#maj7And (x43111@1)he ran away 'cause he felt life was cruel.
            D (xx0232@1)                       BmA (x24432@1)killer of fools was walking close behind him.
                        F#m (244222@1)             C#m (x13321@4) F#The (244322@1)boy was afraid that he'd be thought a fool.

       D (xx0232@1)             BmOh (x24432@1)the foolkiller is a giant they say.
   D (xx0232@1)                      G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1)   D7He (xx0212@1)chops down a fool and he goes on his wa-ay-ay.
G (320003@1)            F#m (244222@1)  G (320003@1)        F#m (244222@1)Better runaway boy was a runaway boy.
     G (320003@1)  A (x02220@1)  F#mVery (244222@1)much like you.

So he climed the hills and roamed the woods and valleys.
Just get up and go became his golden rule.
A killer of fools was walking in the shadows.
The boy was afraid that he'd be thought a fool.

Then there came a day a man and woman found him.
Lovingly they smiled and then they called him son.
No more did he fear that wicked old fool killer.
I know that it's true because I was the one

Oh the foolkiller is a giant they say.
He chops down a fool and he goes on his wa-ay-ay.
Well who was the fool tell me the boy in his bed
Or the boy who used to roam

Runaway boy listen, runaway boy better go on home.
