Big Fool Of The Year
George Jones
Album: 10 Great Songs (2012)


B                          E     B
All the big fools in town got together 
                                        E
Every hopeless loving heart I know was there
        B                       E       B
We all sat around and told our own sad stories
           E          F#7              B
Then they made me the big fool of the year

B                             E      B
Oh they gave to me a little golden statue 
                                   E
Of the torch that I carry for you dear
          B                            E       B
They said no one else could even come close to me
         E         F#7              B
And that I was the big fool of the year

      E
I'll put my love beside 
      B
Any foolish heart in town
             E                             B             F#7
For there's none can hold a light to this torch I carry round
         B                      E      B
I can't say that I'm too proud of the honor 

                                  E
But then I guess I do deserve it dear
        B                         E       B
For to love you after all you've made me suffer
        E           F#7              B
Surely makes me the big fool of the year

          E          F#7              B
You have made me the big fool of the year
