Hello fellow COWPIEr's,
I would like to submit: RICHEST FOOL ALIVE by Patty Loveless
I'm enclosing it in two methods (my preferred: "chords in the lyrics" AND
the beta version, "chords above the lyrics")
Copy & Paste YOUR favorite to A Wordpad & print.
Submitted by Phil Lea at: www.PHILLEA.com (ck it out!)
PS: I'd like to hear from bluegrassers who have songs w/chords.
PPS: Patty, if you're out there.... CALL ME!!!! (I play bass!) ;)

RICHEST FOOL ALIVE - Patty Loveless
(Capo 1 position)
[Fiddle intro]: [C .... G .... D .... G]
[G] There's just no way of goin' back
to [C] change what's come and gone
But if I could go [G] back in time
I'd undo what you've [D] done
I [G] wouldn't look into your eyes
& [C] go completely blind
Or listen to your [G] pretty words
& [D] leave my heart be-[G]-hind
CHORUS:
If [C] heartaches were treasure & [G] pain could be sold
If dreams were [C] made of [G] silver & [A] promises of [D] gold
If [C] teardrops were diamonds, [G] measured in [C] lies
I'd have a [G] broken [C] heart worth [G] millions
And be the [D] richest fool a-[G]-live
[Fiddle break] [C .... G .... D .... G]
Next [G] time I'd listen to my friends
take [C] their advice to heart
And avoid all of this [G] misery
I could've ended from the [D] start
But [G] fools in love don't listen.
They [C] don't know right from wrong
They see just what they [G] wanna see
And [D] miss it when it's [G] gone
[CHORUS], plus repeat:
I'd have a [G] broken [C] heart worth [G] millions
And be the [D] richest fool a-[G]-live
[Fiddle break] [C .... G .... D .... G]
