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

pretty simple anyway), but email me with questions.

Love this song! Thanks for the tab.
sounds spot on, except the chord after Dm7 is called CM7 (major seventh) not C/C6 (the notes in the chord are right just not the name).
wat would do u acually mean by a C/C6?
