Israel Nash Gripka - Fool's Gold

G...D...A...G... 2x


D...........................A
give me lovin' like a cannonball

G.............................D................A
I can't stand but baby we got walls

D...........................A
the air is thin so lets take it down

G.....................................D.............A
to meet the street and the evening crowd

D.............................A
turn the corner and I heard her sing

G
shake me down and take me off with a ring

A.................................Em
building bridges ain't the hardest part

A......................................Em...........A
it's trying to swim when they fall apart

........................G.......D
and all I got was fools gold

D..............A..........................G..........D
they never get you what you needed most

D.................A...................G...............D
you know the silver always brings you home

D..................A
like friends and lovers well they

Em.........G........A.......D
come and go like fools gold


wish I knew how the story went
I guess I would if I remembered it
but it's just like it always is
with a broken head and a busted glass
throwing caution right into the wind
it takes me down and it always wins

building bridges ain't the hardest part
it's trying to swim when they fall apart
and all I got was fools gold
they never get you what you needed most
you know the silver always brings you home
like friends and lovers well they
come and go like fools gold


Em.............G.............A
out hear the mouth is a token

Em.....................G.......A
the fallout it comes easily

Em..........G........A
I know to ruin the moment

......Em...........G.............A
it's a valley just waitin' for me

and all I got was fools gold
they never get you what you needed most
you know the silver always brings you home
like friends and lovers well they
come and go like fools gold

G.....C...................G
as he stared past the fire

G................................C....................................G
his hunger to leave well it gnawed his poor heart alive

C...........................G
her skin smelled like black cherry

C..........G
blossom perfume

C.................G........................D
the sailboats they all sailed on by

........C.............G
and a river she cried

and the wind was suddenly sweeter than roosevelt pine
the windows broke out and the cigarette smoke was drifting by
the bums on the bowery they were swallowed in the lights
as cars rumbled out in the night
screaming run for your life


......Em.......C............G
with cool and silvery eyes

........Em............C..........G
and a heart it was fit for design

Em.............C..........G
drown in the river of tears oh

..C...........G
a river she cried

C..................D
left her with a heart

............C.............G
made of ashes and fire

one day there was a silence and it washed through the town
and there no reason and no one made a sound
her eyes were indigo
the cats were all calico
and the sailboats they all sailed on by
and a river she cried

with cool and silvery eyes
and a heart it was fit for design
drown in the river of tears oh
a river she cried
left her with a heart
made of ashes and fire
