Loveless Patty - Richest Fool Alive guitar tab

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]
