E                                    A                     E                A
Now I'm just a working man and I've done all that I can
       E                                                    B7
To keep you in your ribbons and your bows
E	      A	          E               A
Talk gets around in a small country town
	     E	        B7		E
Where the fool is the last one to know

       B7	                 A             E
It takes a fool to do the things I do
      B7	                    A		    F#		   B7
Have to be a fool, a fool like me to be so in love with you

Have your partcels? growing cold is there someone that you hold
Lights that die out when you're alone
Who's that so and so darling who's your Romeo
Oh the fool is the last one to know

[Solo – 2nd half of verse chord progression]

It takes a fool…..

I overheard you on the phone you were whispering sweet and low
Something that I'd never heard before
Saying just what lovers say when two lovers talk that way
Yes the fool is the last one to know

It takes a fool… 

E		                A         E	             A
Yeah talk sure talk gets around in a small country town
	        E	         B7	   E	 A
Where the fool is the last one to know
	        E	         B7	   E	 A
I guess the fool is the last one to know
	        E	                  B7		E
Yes I'm the fool and I'm the last one to know
