[Dm]

[F]
[G] [C]
A world become [F] [Dm] one, from salad to sun, [C] only a fool would say that.
A [F] boy with a plan, [Dm] a natural man, [C] wearing a white Stetson hat.
[Am] And [F] had that gun be [G] gone, there's no [F] one to fire upon.
If he's holding it high, he's telling a [Am] lie.
I [F] heard 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 in the [F] street, [Dm] dragging his feet, [C] don't want to hear the bad news.
[Dm] Imagine your face, [C] there in his place, standing inside his brown jeans.
[Am] You do [F] his nine to five, [G] write yourself [F] home after life.
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 just [F] couldn't be, and only [C] a fool would [Am] say that.
[Bm] Anybody [E] on the street [Am] has [Dm] murder [G] in [F] his eyes.
[G] [F] Feel [Am] no pain, and [D] you're younger than [Dm] you [C] realize.
[F] Only a fool would [Dm] say that.
[Am] Only a fool.

Only [F] a fool would [Dm] say that.
Only [Am] a fool would say that.
