[Verse 1]
Em A D G
Can't you show me something I've not seen before
Em A D G
Magic tricks and pirate ships - they just don't work no more.
Em A D G
Given up on treasure chests that wash upon the shore
Em A
'Cause fool's gold never seems to keep its shine.
[Verse 2]
Em A D G G/F#
Can't you give me something I can hold in my hands
Em A D G G/F#
Sick of gold rush promises and empty suitcase plans
Em A D G G/F#
I won't go back to treasure maps and digging in the sand
Em A
For I always seem to lose whatever I find
Em A
Yeah, I always seem to leave it all behind
[Chorus 1]
D G
Heeeeyyyy
Em A D G
Give me golden afternoons in May
Em A Bm G G/F#
Give me silver moons that light my way
Em A
And I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
[Interlude 1] (Same as intro)
D G G/F# Em A
D G G/F# Em A
Bm G G/F# Em A
[Verse 3]
Em A D G G/F#
Can't you make me feel like I haven't felt for years
Em A D G G/F#
Let me laugh like I did when I was a kid until I burst into tears
Em A D G G/F#
And count the diamond stars and drink the water crystal clear
Em A
And I'll be richer than any man who lives with fear
[Chorus 2]
D G G/F#
Singing aaaaaay
Em A D G G/F#
Give me golden afternoons in May
Em A Bm G G/F#
Give me silver moons that light my way
Em A
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore.
[Interlude 2] (Same as verse)
Em A D G G/F#
Em A D G G/F#
Em A D G G/F#

[Chorus 3]
D G G/F#
Singing aaaaaay
G A D G G/F#
Give me golden afternoons in May
Em A Bm G G/F#
Give me silver moons that light my way
Em A Bm G G/F#
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore.
[Outro]
Em A Bm G G/F#
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore.
Em A D
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore.
