Fool's Paradise chords by Johnny Bond
Verse 1
D
Well, let's go and do it. All right.
Yeah, I'm going do The Fool's Paradise.
A
As I write this letter to you, darling,
G
D
I can't hold the teardrops from my eyes,
A
G
For at sundown I will lay a dime
A
D
At the door of the fool's paradise
A
D
I walked and rode into this
A
cattle town this morning
G
D
Left my herd to check the market purse,
G
And I strolled into the nearest bar,
A
They called it the Pool's Paradise,
D
There the crowd was gay
A
and girls were dancing,
G
D
And the men were playin' cards and dice
A
G
So I stepped up to the bar to join them
A
A grand place, this fool's paradise
D
G
Bm
It was then I showed
F#
to them your picture
G
I passed it around once or twice
Bm
G
D
G
Then a man insulted
D
your sweet honor
A
D
At the bar of the fool's paradise
So I hit him in the face
and I told him
A
I said, eat them words,
G
Mr. O'Draw, that's my advice.
D
A
He said somebody might
D
get hurt here inside,
A
D
but I'll tell you what I'll do,
A
G
I'll meet you in the street at sundown,
A
at sundown in front of the
D
fool's paradise.
So good -bye, my darling,
A
may God bless you,
G
D
I go to make the sacrifice,
C
G
And if ever you visit old Dodge City,
A
D
Remember the fool's paradise.
Jim Reeves told me he
wanted to sing the song,
and there was one little line in there
that he said makes me want to do it,
and I said, what's that?
He said, I just want to say,
eat them words, mister.
Fool's Paradise
