Dm D G  Abm6 D   E
I'll be your fool, 
     G
I'll be your loving loser,
     D
I'll be your ridicule,
     G
I'll be the one you make fun of,
         D
When all your plans fall through,
        G/B A           D    C#
Because you sure need a fool.

D   G6  Abm6 D
I'm not a....lone,
     G
I've seen the one's you run to,
     D
I've known the ones you've known,
     G
I've seen the ones you come to,
         D
When you leave your happy home,
    A       D     Em C# Dm
No, I'm not alone.

D   G    Abm6  D
All Fools must fall. 
G
Some of them get up again,
     D
Some are made to crawl,
G
Some of them hang on a limb,
     D
Some sit on the wall,
    A   A7         D    D7
But all fools must fall.

    G        Em7  Dm6
But before I fall,
               D         E      Bm6
I'll run right down your narrow hall,
    A               A7    Bm7 F#dim7
And warn your other gentlemen,
      G        Em7
Yeah, before I fall,
     D                E7
I'll stand up on your garden wall,
G         Ab  A7  A6 Em F Fm
Faithful 'til then.
