Only A Fool Would Say That
By Steely Dan (Becker/Fagen)
Off the album "Can't Buy a Thrill"
Transcribed by Joe Hankin (wetzil@hotmail.com)

Intro: Dm7 C/C6 2x

N.C.           Dm7
A world become one of salads and sun
       C/C6
Only a fool would say that
              Dm7
A boy with a plan; a natural man
           C/C6
Wearin' a white Stetson hat
Am           F
Unhand that gun begone
Em7               Dm7
There's no one to fire upon
        Dm7                              Am
If he's holding it high, he's telling a lie


(Chorus:)
               Dm7
I heard it was you
                 Am         Am/G   D/F#
Talkin' 'bout a world where all is free
                 F
It just couldn't be
             C                   C6
And only a fool would say that

                Dm7
The man in the street, draggin' his feet
            C/C6
Don't wanna hear the bad news
             Dm7
Imagine your face there in his place
           C/C6
Standin' inside his brown shoes
Am          F
You do his nine to five,
Em7                 Dm7
Drag yourself home half-alive
    Dm7                                     Am
And there on the screen, a man with a dream


(Chorus)

E7sus4  E7                Am    Am/G    Am/F   Am/E
Anybody on the street has murder in his eyes
       Dm   E  Am                 D               F       C/C6
You'll feel no pain, and you're younger than you realize
       Dm7
Only a fool would say that
       Am Am/G Am/F Am/E Dm7
Only a foooooooooooooooooool

(Guitar Solo: Dm7 Am7 Em7 Dm7 C6)

               Dm7
I heard it was you
                Am          Am/G   D/F#
Talkin' 'bout a world where all is free
                 F
It just couldn't be
            C             C6
And only a fool would say that
        Dm7
Only a fool would say that
        F                    C6
Only a fool would say that

As you can see, it's really straightforward and has simple chord
changes. And questions, comments or corrections, e-mail me at
wetzil@hotmail.com. I don't think I left out any chord shapes (they're
pretty simple anyway), but email me with questions.
