Continental Drifters That Much a Fool written by Vicki Peterson
Cm F Eb Eb/D Eb/C Bb
Bb F
Remember the summer we stood in the rain
Ab Eb
Counting the cars on the Southern bound trains
Bb
And just for a moment
F
Our gazes would meet
Ab Eb Bb Cm F Eb Eb/D Eb/C Bb
Lips just an instant from kisses so sweet
Bb
So what ever happened
F
You turned away
Ab Eb
And I never thought of the right things to say
Bb F
So many times i have thought of the kiss
Ab
We never shared
Eb Bb
Now you’re telling me this
Eb
You could have fooled me
Bb
I had no idea
F Bb Bb7
That you were so very in love with me, dear
Eb
You did not show it
Bb Gm
And now it seems cruel
Cm
You could have fooled me
F Eb Eb/D Eb/C Bb Cm F Eb/D Eb/C Bb
I’m that much a fool
Bb F
You were a brother, a friend, and a man
Ab Eb
Who i thought I knew like the back of my hand
Bb
Now you’re here waiting
F
Your eyes wet with tears
Ab Eb Bb
Confessing a love after so many years
Eb
You could have fooled me
Bb
I had no idea
F Bb Bb7
That you were so very in love with me, dear
Eb
You did not show it
Bb Gm
And now it seems cruel
Cm
You could have fooled me
F Eb Bb
I’m that much a fool
SOLO
Gm
Well i waited
Cm
And wondered
Eb Bb
What seems like a lifetime and then
Gm C7
I loved you like a brother
Ab F
And cherished you so as a friend
Bb F
Remember the winter you went away
Ab Eb
Something inside of me died on that day
Bb
And now i am married
F
I play by the rules
Ab
I cannot go with you
Eb Bb
I'm that much a fool
Eb
You could have fooled me
Bb
I had no idea
F Bb Bb7
That you were so very in love with me, dear
Eb
You did not show it
Bb Gm
And now it seems cruel
Cm
You could have fooled me
F Eb Eb/D Eb/C Bb
I’m that much a fool
