Only A Fool Would Say That
By Steely Dan (Becker/Fagen)

Off the album "Can't Buy a Thrill"
Transcribed by Joe Hankin ([email protected])

Intro: Dm7 C/C6 2x

N.C. Dm7
A world become one of salads and sun
C/C6
Only a fool would say that
Dm7
A boy with a plan; a natural man
C/C6
Wearin' a white Stetson hat
Am F
Unhand that gun begone
Em7 Dm7
There's no one to fire upon
Dm7 Am
If he's holding it high, he's telling a lie


(Chorus:)
Dm7
I heard it was you
Am Am/G D/F#
Talkin' 'bout a world where all is free
F
It just couldn't be
C C6
And only a fool would say that

Dm7
The man in the street, draggin' his feet
C/C6
Don't wanna hear the bad news
Dm7
Imagine your face there in his place
C/C6
Standin' inside his brown shoes
Am F
You do his nine to five,
Em7 Dm7
Drag yourself home half-alive
Dm7 Am
And there on the screen, a man with a dream


(Chorus)

E7sus4 E7 Am Am/G Am/F Am/E
Anybody on the street has murder in his eyes
Dm E Am D F C/C6
You'll feel no pain, and you're younger than you realize
Dm7
Only a fool would say that
Am Am/G Am/F Am/E Dm7
Only a foooooooooooooooooool

(Guitar Solo: Dm7 Am7 Em7 Dm7 C6)

Dm7
I heard it was you
Am Am/G D/F#
Talkin' 'bout a world where all is free
F
It just couldn't be
C C6
And only a fool would say that
Dm7
Only a fool would say that
F C6
Only a fool would say that

As you can see, it's really straightforward and has simple chord
changes. And questions, comments or corrections, e-mail me at

pretty simple anyway), but email me with questions.
