[Dm]
[C] [Am]
[C] [F]
[Dm] [B] [C]
A world [F] become one, [Dm] silent and sun, only [C] a fool would say that.
A boy [Dm] with a plan, a natural man, [C] wearing a white Stetson hat.
[Am]
Unhand [F] that gun, be gone, [G]
there's no one [F] to fire upon.
If he's holding it high, he's telling a [Am] lie.
I heard [F] it was [Dm] you, [Am] talking about a world [C] where all [D] is free.
It just [F] couldn't be, and [C] only a fool would say that.
The man [Dm] in the street, dragging his feet, [Am] don't want to [C] hear the bad news.
[Dm] Imagine your face, [C] there in his place, [Dm] [C] standing inside his brown shoes.
[Am]
You do [F] his nine to five, [G] drag yourself [F] home half alive.
There on the screen, a man with a [Am] dream.
I heard [F] it was [Dm]
you, [F] talking [Am] about a world [C] where all [D] is free.
It [F] just couldn't be, and only [C] a fool would say [Am] that.
[Bm]
Anybody [E] on the street [Am] has [D] murder [G] in [F] his eyes.
[G] You [F] feel [Am] no pain, [D] and you're younger than [Dm] you realize.
[C]
[Dm] Only a fool would say that.
[Am] Only a fool.
[C] [F]
[Am] [G] [Em]
[Dm] [C]
I [Dm] heard it was you, [Am] talking about a world [C] where all [D] is free.
It just [F] couldn't be, and [Am] only a fool would say that.
[Dm] Only a fool would say that.
Only [Am] a fool would say that.
