poor little fool chords
ricky nelson *

C Am F G
i used to play around with hearts that hastened at my call ,
C Am F G
but when i met that little girl i knew that i would fall .

C Am Dm G C Am Dm G
poor little fool , oh yeah , i was a fool , uh huh . .

C Am F G
she played around and teased me with her carefree devil eyes ,
C Am F G
she’d hold me close and kiss me but her heart was full of lies .

C Am Dm G C Am Dm G
poor little fool , oh yeah , i was a fool , uh huh . .

C Am F G
she told me how she cared for me and that we’d never part ,
C Am F G
and so for the very first time i gave away my heart .

C Am Dm G C Am Dm G
poor little fool , oh yeah , i was a fool , uh huh . .

C Am F G
the next day she was gone and i knew she’d lied to me ,
C Am F G
she left me with a broken heart and won her victory .

C Am Dm G C Am Dm G
poor little fool , oh yeah , i was a fool , uh huh . .

C Am F G
i’d played this game with other hearts but i never thought i’d see ,
C Am F G
the day that someone else would play love’s foolish game with me .

C Am Dm G C Am Dm G
poor little fool , oh yeah , i was a fool , uh huh . .
