Fool's Paradise chords by
Johnny Bond
Johnny Bond

N/A
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.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • 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

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • 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.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
