I Was A Fool To Care 
(James Taylor) 1975 
 
E5 G5 A5 A5 , E5 G5 A5 A#5 
I was a fool to care,
 E5 D5 
I was a fool to care
 F#5 F#5 B5 
I was a fool to care
 E5 D5 
but I don't care even if I was a fool
 B5 G5 F#5 E5 A5 A5 
I'm still in love with you
 D5 F#5 F#5 
Had I listened to the grapevine,
 B5 G5 F#5 
I might have had my doubts
 E5 A5 D5 
But I did my level best just to block them out
 B5 G5 F#5 B5 E5 D5  
"Cause love is so unwise and love has no eyes
 G5 A5 A7, D5 /c# /b /a} 
And it took a while for a fool to see
 G5 D5 
what his friends were on about
 E5 E5 
I was a fool to care
 G5 A5 D5 
I was a fool to care
 F#5 F#5 B5 
I was a fool to care
 E5 D5 
but I don't care even if I was a fool
 B5 G5 F#5 E5 A5 A5 
I'm still in love with you
 D5 B5 
Imagining your face,
  C5 G5 
it almost fills the empty space before me
 C5 A5 D5 D5 
I can see you eyes and almost hear your lovely lies
 C5 G5 F5 E5 A5 

F#5 F#5 
I wish I was an old man
 B5 G5 F#5 
and love was through with me
  E5 A5 D5 
I wish I was a baby on my mama's knee
 B5 G5 F#5 B5 E5 D5 
I wish I was a freight train moving down the line
 G5 A5 A7, D5 /c# /b /a}  
Just keeping track of time
  G5 D5 
without all these memories
 B5 E5 
I was a fool to care
 G5 A5 D5 
I was a fool to care
 F#5 F#5 B5 
I was a fool to care
  E5 D5 } 
but I don't care even if I was a fool
 B5 G5 F#5 E5 A5 A5 
I'm still in love with you
 D5 F#5 F#5 
Baby, yes, I am
 B5 A5 G5 } 
I could have opened my eyes,
  F#5 E5 G5 A5 A5 
I could have seen through your lies
  E5 G5 A5 A5 
I could have stood for no more,
   E5 G5 A5 A5 
I could have walked out the door 
 E5 G5 A5 F#5 
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
 E5 D7M, F#5 F#5 B5  
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
 E5 D7M, F#5 F#5 B5  
You weren't nothing but a fool to care; just a country fool to care.
