Tom: Em
G
Well, a truest test of a man's good name
Am
is acceptance of failure and losing a game,
C Cm G
with a smile and a handshake, quiet every building rage
[Verse 2]
G
I got knocked around in a real small town,
Am
and they poked and and they prodded and marched me around,
C Cm G
for a laugh in the snow, try to tear a good man's soul
[Chorus]
G
For a fool's gold, a beggar's bargain
Am
too much time, space to get lost in,
C D G
it's one for the road, two if you can let it go.
G
Blood's thick, but water's deeper,
Am
the wine works fine, but the whiskey's cheaper
C D G
Now turn it around, quick before your sun goes down.
[Solo]
| G | G | Am | Am | C | Cm | G | G |
[Verse 3]
G
Well, I see you found yourself a damn fine game,
Am
you can lines on your mind and ounces to say,
C Cm G
but it's okay, we've both seen our darker days.
[Verse 4]
G
But it's like you never saw a sucker before,
Am
been alive on the side of your bedroom door,
C Cm G
with an ear on the phone, beggin' just to let it go.
[Chorus]
G
For a fool's gold, a beggar's bargain
Am
too much time, space to get lost in,
C D G
it's one for the road, two if you can let it go.
G
Blood's thick, but water's deeper,
Am
the wine works fine, but the whiskey's cheaper
C D G
Now turn it around, quick before your sun goes down.
[Solo]
| G | G | Am | Am | C | Cm | G | G | x2
[Chorus]
G
For a fool's gold, a beggar's bargain
Am
too much time, space to get lost in,
C D G
it's one for the road, two if you can let it go.
G
Blood's thick, but water's deeper,
Am
the wine works fine, but the whiskey's cheaper
C D G
Now turn it around, quick before your sun goes down.
[Outro]
C D G
I said, now turn it around, quick before your sun goes down.
