Chords for Nanci Griffith - Anyone Can Be Somebody's Fool (early version) [1986]

_ _ _ _ _ _ Could I get a little more vocal in the monitor?
Thank you.
_ This next song is a brand new song.
And it's always nice to come to a show when you have a brand new song.
And this one is just like a new penny, you know, you can't wait to get it out of your pocket.
[G] _ _ _ [Bb] _ It's a tune about [F] broken hearts.
And everybody's had a broken heart at some point in their life, you know, but you always forget [Bb] about it, you know.
It's like childbirth.
You do it over and over again.
You don't know why. _ _ _
_ _ But I had one of my best gentleman friends had a broken heart recently [F] and it's gone on and on, you know, it just seems to last forever.
And you try to tell him that it doesn't last forever.
It's not a permanent affliction.
It's not something you're going to have to deal with 10 years from now.
But no one ever believes it.
You know, your broken heart's always the worst broken heart that ever happened in the history of the [Bb] world.
_ It's never [F] happened to anyone else as bad as it happened to you.
This is a tune for anybody in here who's got a broken heart.
And it's a tune called Anyone Can Be Somebody's [Bb] Fool.
_ _ _ _ You can cast the daylights [F] out of this fair winter moon.
[Cm] We could ponder [Eb] every reason why your [F] true love was [Bb] untrue.
_ _ And you can cry your eyes out, I got a [Dm] show to hear for you.
_ _ [Cm] And every day [Eb] your broken [Fm] heart's gonna turn a lighter shade of [Bb] blue.
_ _ [Gm] Cause [Dm] anyone can be _ somebody's fool.
[Eb] Oh, look at me, I [F] once was a [Bb] fool for you.
So [Dm] you know it's [Eb] true.
[F] Anyone can be somebody's [Bb] fool.
Well, you know [F] _ it's true.
[Eb] Anyone can be [Bb] somebody's fool.
_ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ And out in this lonely [Dm] town, there's a lovely silver frost.
So we [Cm] could stop and have [Eb] another round for [F] the true love that you [Bb] lost.
_ It's gonna take a little time before [F] this emptiness grows old.
_ [Cm] And underneath [Eb] that silver frost, you've [F] still got a heart of [Bb] gold.
_ [Gm] _ _
Anyone can be _ somebody's [Eb] fool.
Hey, look at me, I [F] once was a fool for [Bb] you.
So you [F] know it's [Eb] true.
Anyone [F] can be _ [Bb] somebody's fool.
Well, you [F] know it's [Eb] true.
Anyone [F] can be somebody's [Bb] fool. _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] And when this winter's [C] over, [F] you're gonna walk me deep and [Cm] sober.
Your heart will round [Eb] the corner and you're [F] gonna feel brand [Gm] new.
_ Cause [Dm] anyone can be _ somebody's [Eb] fool.
Hey, look at me, [F] I once was a fool [Bb] for you.
So you [F]
know it's [Eb] true.
Anyone [F] can be somebody's [Bb] fool.
Well, you [F] know it's [Eb] true.
Anyone [F] can be somebody's [Bb] fool.
Well, you know [Eb] it's true.
Anyone can [F] be [Bb] somebody's fool.
_ [F] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
Thank you. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
