Intro:

C - B - Bb - A - Ab --- Bb --- C   F  G  (Bar Chords)


C                      Am Em                    C
Somewhere there should be, for all the world to see
  F           G            C     C#  D7  G
a statue of a fool made of stone
    C          Am          Em                    C     C#
the image of a man who let love slip through his hands
    D7                            G    G7
and then let him stand there all alo-o-o-ne
C                Am  Em                      C
and there on his face, a gold tear should be placed
   F         G                  C     C# D7  G
to honor the million tears he's cried
        C                       Am
and the hurt in his eyes should show
Em                C     C#
so everyone would know
        D7                          G    G7
that concealed, is a broken heart insi-i-i-de
C             Am          F               G    G F# F
So build me a statue, and oh-h-h build it high
        G       C    C-B-Bb-A-Ab (bar chords)
so that all can see
Ab                 C  Em7          Am  Am7/G
then inscribe, the worlds greatest fool
    F       G     Ab    Bb          C/G
and name it after me-e-e-e-e, After Me
