What Kind Of Fool Am I

Sammy Davis Jr.


Tom: Am

G7           Cmaj7
What kind of fool am I
          Dm7           G7
Who never fell in love
              Cmaj7        A7
It seems that I'm the only one
                 Dm7          G7
That I have been thinking of

             C             Am7
What kind of man is this?
         D7
An empty shell
         G/B     Em7
A lonely cell in which
   Am7   D7         Gsus4  G7
An empty heart must dwell

             Cmaj7
What kind of lips are these
               Dm7         G7
That lied with every kiss
               Cmaj7          Gm/Bb
That whispered empty words of love
     A7      Gm7              C7
That left me alone like this

            F6            Dm7
Why can't I fall in love
         C/E        D7
Like any other man
          Dm7                 Fm      G7     C   Cmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7
And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am.


G7           Cmaj7
What kind of clown am I?
          Dm7            G7
What do I know of life?
            Cmaj7        Gm/Bb    A7 
Why can't I cast away the mask of play
    Gm7            C7
And live my life?

            F6            Dm7
Why can't I fall in love
             C/E          D7
Till I don't give a damn
          Dm7                 Fm      G7     C  Cmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7 Dm7 Cmaj7
And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am
