09 - You Were The Fool

YOU WERE THE FOOL - words and music by Ween
**from the album "12 Golden Country Greats"

The E riff is played throughout most of the verse section, although its
possible to just play E during the parts with singing, and using the riff
inbetween the lyrics.

You Were The Fool - by Ween

Intro - (E riff) X 2

(E riff)
Bless the father bless this son
(E riff)
Cross your heart cuz' you're the one
A (E riff) X 2
Collectin' moonbeams in the mornin'
(E riff)
Curvy sticks and wooden poles
(E riff)
Assistin' you in pluggin' holes
A (E riff) X 2
Plug them holes 'til you see straight through to the minds eye

D A
Think about it, turn around, and go back to the quiet sound
Am7 Dadd4 (E riff)
While Jim and Dan prance around the pool - You were the fool
A E (E riff)
And I feel sorry for you - You were the fool
D A
But there's something you can do

(E riff) X 2

(E riff)
You can wash your arm in a pool of mud
(E riff)
You can chop a tree, prevent a flood
A (E riff) X 2
You can speak with a turtle just by flippin' him around
(E riff)
You can build a boat, you can sail the sea
(E riff)
You can buy a mold and forge your key
A (E riff) X 2
Initiate the sequence, create catastrophe

(E riff) X 2

***Bass Tab*** by Geoffrey Dickens

It seems another flaw of the program I use has become apparant. If
there is a line underneath two notes then hold the note. Sorry.
I tried to tab the outro as best as I could, but it eventually gets too quiet.
