Fool's gold Lyrics - Graham Parker

Intro as per verse

 

A                D                  A              D                  

I been doing my homework now for a long long time

A                       D                     A            D                  

And everything that I look for I know I will one day find

E                  D   E                   D

I'm a fool so I'm told I get left in the cold

E                        D                     A    

Cause I will search the world for that fool's gold,      

D              A    D    A

      fool's gold

 

Oh the world may be full of girls with their charms on show

But the one that I seek will have much more than any I know

People say heaven knows see what comes I suppose

But I will search the world for that fool's gold, fool's gold

      E  A   D

Huh          I eye eye eye eye eye eye eye

E  A   D                              E  A       D

       I eye eye eye eye eye eye eye        Oh yeah

People say heaven knows heaven knows heaven knows see what comes I suppose

Fool's gold fool's gold fool's gold fool's gold

Keep searching in the mountains in the valleys, In the deep blue sea 

I will search I will search I will search for fool's gold

Go oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I will search for fool's gold, I will search for fool's gold

I will search, I will search, I will search

I will search for fool's gold, I will search for fool's gold

I'm a fool, I will search, I will search, I will search for fool's gold
