Fool's Paradise
Recorded by Jim Reeves
Written by Johnny Bond

C G7
As I write this letter to you darlin'
F C
I can't hold the teardrops from my eyes
C7 F
For at sundown I will lay a-dyin'
G7 C
At the door of the Fool's Paradise

G7
Rode into this cattle town this mornin'
F C
Left my herd to check the market price
C7 F
And I walked into the nearest barroom
G7 C
They call it the Fool's Paradise

G7
There the crowd was gay and girls were dancin'
F C
And the men were playin' cards and dice
C7 F
So I stepped up to the bar to join them
G7 C
What a grand place this Fool's Paradise

Am Em G7
It was then I showed to them your picture
Em Am
I passed it around once or twice
C F C
Then a man insulted your sweet honor
G7 C
At the bar of the Fool's Paradise

Spoken:


So I slapped his face and I told him
G7 F
I said you eat 'em words mister or draw that's my advice
C
And he said well somebody might get hurt inside
F
But I'll be glad to meet you in the street at sundown
G7 C
At sundown in front of the Fool's Paradise

G7
So goodbye my darlin' may God bless you
F C
I will go to make this sacrifice
C7 F
And if ever you visit old Dodge City
G7 C
Remember the Fool's Paradise
