What A Fool Believes by The Doobie Brothers
Capo I
Intro G Am Em Am
G Am
He came from somewhere back in her long ago.
Em Am
The sentimental fool don't see
G Am
Tryin' hard to recreate what had yet to be created
Em Am G
once in her life she musters a smile
Am Em Am G
For his nostalgic tale Never coming near what he wanted to say
Am Em Am
Only to realize It never really was...
Am G
She had a place in his life
Am G
He never made her think twice
Am (hold)
As she rises to her apology
G(hold) Am
Anybody else would surely know
G
He's watching her go
F Bb
But what a fool believes he sees
Eb Cm
No wise man has the power to reason away
Fm Bb
What seems to be
Eb
Is always better than nothing
Cm
And nothing at all keeps sending him...
G Am
Somewhere back in her long ago
Em Am G
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Am Em Am
Someday, somewhere, she will return...
Am G
She had a place in his life
Am G
He never made her think twice
Am (hold)
As she rises to her apology
G (hold) Am
Anybody else would surely know
G
He's watching her go
F Bb
But what a fool believes he sees
Eb Cm
No wise man has the power to reason away
Fm Bb
What seems to be
Eb
Is always better than nothing
Cm
And nothing at all
F Bb
But what a fool believes he sees
Eb Cm
No wise man has the power to reason away
Fm Bb
What seems to be
Eb
Is always better than nothing
Cm
And nothing at all (repeat to fade)
Eb = x11231
Keep the strumming simple. Plain old 8th notes. This version omits all the the walking
bass lines and gets to the straight chords. Any corrections/comments are welcome.
