Rufus Wainwright - April Fools

rufus wainwright’s “april fools”

G dmin7
oh what a shame that your pockets did bleed on st . valentine’s .
G
and you sat in a chair thinking “boy i’m such a prince!”
dmin7
well life’s a train that goes from february on day by day
G
but it’s making a stop on april first .

chorus :
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G
and you will believe in love and all that it’s supposed to be
Cmaj7 A7 A7sus4 Am7 D7
but just until the fish start to smell and you’re struck down by a hammer

G Dm7
sure you were swift when the handsome greek boys dropped by with gifts
G
you are suave thanks to ribbons that open sesame
Dm7
but in the stars and closer to home and every planet it ain’t hard
G
for me and dear jo jo to see .

( chorus )

bridge :
G Cmaj7 G A7
so let it all go by ( let it all go bye ) looking at the sky ( looking at the sky )
Am D G
wondering if theres clouds ( wondering if theres clouds and stuff ) in hell
( repeat ) – rufus sings not parenthesis first time , in parenthesis second time

instrumental ( same chords for verse here )

Cmaj7 G
and you will believe in love
Cmaj7 G
and all that it’s supposed to be
Cmaj7 A7 A7sus4 Am7 D7
and you will believe in love . . .

end in G
