Verse 1: Note: When B5 and E5 are recalled in the verses and outro, play a
figure similar to that found in the intro.

kickin' down the road feelin' mighty slowed with the likes of you

gettin' mighty spaced never had a taste of what you're goin' through

I can't bitch went from rags to riches then to ragtime screamin' the

blues

Chorus:
I wanna know why everybody's good intention try to make a fool out of me

I wanna know why everybody's good intention gotta make a fool

gotta make a fool try to make a fool out of me

Verse 2:

swing low sweet cherry o when a strange love showed me the way

ya see more can't keep a score when the whore's comin' on for the play

Chorus:
I wanna know why everybody's good intention gotta make a fool out of me

I wanna know why everybody's good intention gotta make a fool

gotta make a fool try to make a fool out of me

E5-A5 D5-G5 G5-F#5-E5-A5 D5-C#5

Verse 3:

E. Poe eatin' crow wonder if he knowed that the raven was mad

time passed and words lost the last of the best thing he ever had

Chorus:
I wanna know why everybody's good intention gotta make a fool out of me

I wanna know why everybody's good intention gotta make a fool

gotta make a fool try to make a fool out of me

E5-A5 D5-G5 G5-F#5-E5-A5 D5-C#5

Verse 4:

oh play rough can't get enough so they try to make a fool out of me,
lordy

Outro:

ain't foolin' me ya ain't ghoulin' me ain't foolin me

ya ain't ghoulin' me
