Continental Drifters - That Much a Fool guitar tab
apparently this band has been around for a while,
but this incarnation includes vickie peterson (from the bangles),
and susan cowsill (yes! from the cowsills!)
anyhoo i think this is right,
i pick or strum, and i don't play accordion, though someone
does on the recording...
a lilting, waltz-like tempo.
listen & you'll get it.
any suggestions, corrections, requests, donations?

That Much a Fool (continental drifters)
Written by Vicki Peterson
Main Vocal: VICKI
capo I
D... E... D... A (waltz-like rhythm)
A E
Remember the summer we sat in the rain
Bm D A
Counting the cars on the Southern bound trains
And just for a moment
E
Our gazes would meet
Bm D A D E D A
Lips just an instant from kisses so sweet
A
So what ever happened
E
You turned away
Bm D A
And I never thought of the right thing to say
E
So many times i have thought of the kiss
Bm
We never shared
D A
Now you?re telling me this
D
You could have fooled me
A
I had no idea
E A
That you were so very in love with me, dear
D
You did not show it
A F#m
And now it seems cruel
D
You could have fooled me
E D A
I?m that much a fool
D E D A
A E
You were a brother, a friend, and a man
Bm D A
Who i thought I knew like the back of my hand
Now you?re here waiting
E
Your eyes wet with tears
Bm D A
Confessing a love after so many years
D
Well you could have fooled me
A
I had no idea
E A
You were so very in love with me, dear
D
You did not show it
A F#m
And now it seems cruel
D
You could have fooled me
E D A
I?m that much a fool
(solo-- accordion, guitar, etc.)
D A E A D A F#m D E D A
F#m
Well i waited
Bm
And wondered
D A
What seems like a lifetime and then
F#m B7
i loved you like a brother
D E
And cherished you so as a friend
A E
Remember the winter you went away
Bm D A
Something inside of me died on that day
And now i am married
E
I play by the rules
Bm
I cannot go with you
D A
I'm that much a fool
D
But you could have fooled me
A
I had no idea
E A
That you were so very in love with me, dear
D
You did not show it
A F#m
And now it seems cruel
D
You could have fooled me
E D A D E D A
I?m that much a fool
