F
Db
C
G
F
You all have heard
of foolish questions
G
and no doubt you've wondered why.
Em
C
A person who will ask them
F
will expect a sensible reply.
Did you ever bring a girl a
box of candy,
G
say right after tea,
C
and notice how she grabs it
F
and then she'll say, is this for me?
Foolish questions you should
C
answer when you can.
The candy's for your father, or mother,
G
Dm
or John the Hard Hand
F
I just wanted you to see it,
G
and now I'm gonna take it away
C
F
C
Wasn't that a foolish question?
F
Well, you'll hear them nearly every day
Then nearly every morning,
G
there's someone round the place
C
Who sees you take the shaving brush
and lather up your face
F
And as you give the razor
G
a preliminary wave
C
This person'll always ask you,
F
Are you gonna shave?
C
Foolish questions, your answer is, I hope.
No, I ain't prepared for shaving,
F
I just like to taste the soap.
I like to take the shaving brush
G
And paint myself this way.
C
F
Wasn't that a foolish question?
C
Well, you'll hear them
F
C
F
nearly every day.
And then you all have seen
G
the man who meets you on your way
C
He asks you where you're going,
F
then he'll listen while you say
That you're going to the funeral
G
of poor old brother Ned
C
Just as soon as you've told him he'll say,
F
is Ned dead?
Foolish questions, you might as well reply
C
No, he thought he'd have the funeral
F
and then later on he'd die
Brother Ned was so original
G
till he wanted it that way
C
Wasn't that a foolish question
F
you'll hear merely every day
Dm
F
Suppose an elevator boy
G
forgets to close the door
C
And you should tumble down the shaft,
say, twenty -seven floors
F
And as you've reached the bottom,
G
and you're lying there inert,
C
The first person who comes along
F
will ask you, Are you hurt?
Foolish questions,
C
your dying words are no.
I was in an awful hurry,
F
and this here elevator runs too slow.
I find I save a lot of time
G
by coming down this way.
C
Wasn't that a foolish question?
F

You'll hear it nearly every day.

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
