FOOL’S GOLD by Stan Countz

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                              G

Somethin's buggin’ me lately, not sure what I’m watchin’ for

        C                                              B

Only You can save me, is that You, Lord, knocking at my door?

                        Em               G                       C                                B

We come from dust, but it’s You I trust, You died the just for the unjust

                                        Em             G                           C                          

We threw You under the bus, traded love for lust, Lady Justice has been

     B                                                       Em    G    C     B

Corrupted, but instead of hating it – we loved it                                             

 

[Chorus]

                Em                    G                        C                                   B

If truth be told, we tried to fill that hole with pills n thrills n rock and roll

                    Em         G                        C            B     Em  G   C   B

We’re losin’ hold, the fruit we stole we traded in  for fool’s gold

                 Em                     G                               C                      B

Filthy and jaded, guilty and naked, God we can’t make it on our own                       

                            Em            G                                         C

Since Adam and Eve, we’ve been deceived, You set us free

                     B                                                               Em  G   C   B

Bought our release - whom The Son sets free is free indeed

 

                        Em                   G                              C               

You saved my soul, broke my chains on the rock, I hope my name’s on the

B                            Em            G                      C

Roll / You paid my toll, said to ask and knock, seek and I’d find my pot of

B                                                         Em  G  C  B           

Gold – I was lost and blind if truth be told                                        

[INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE  Em  G  C  B x 2]

               Em        G                                           C                           B

It ain’t no joke, I’d given up hope, then You proceeded to take control

                       Em                           G                                         C                              B

You made me whole, saw me as a diamond in the rough when I was just a lump of coal

[Chorus/Outro]

                Em                    G                        C                                  B

If truth be told, we tried to fill that hole with pills n thrills n rock and roll

                    Em         G                        C           B     Em  G  C   B

We’re losin’ hold, the fruit we stole we traded in  for fool’s gold

                     Em                G                                C                                             

So make me bold, sin has taken it’s toll - but He claimed victory on the cross

                  B                                                  C                                                               

When they rolled away the stone   Yeah My feet are planted on the rock and

      B                                 Em   G   C   B

My name is written on the roll

                 Em          G                                     C                             B

Don’t lose hope, He threw me a rope, ain’t no joke, it’s a slippery slope

                Em             G                    C   B      Em    G     C    B      Em

If truth be told – Don’t sell your soul,         for fool’s gold           for fool’s gold
