N.C.           Dm7
A world become one of salads and sun

C/C6 Only a fool would say that

              Dm7
A boy with a plan; a natural man

C/C6 Wearin' a white Stetson hat

Am           F
Unhand that gun begone

Em7               Dm7
There's no one to fire upon

        Dm7                              Am
If he's holding it high, he's telling a lie

[Chorus]

               Dm7
I heard it was you

                 Am         Am/G   D7/F#
Talkin' 'bout a world where all is free

                 F
It just couldn't be

             C                   C6
And only a fool would say that

[Verse 2]

                Dm7
The man in the street, draggin' his feet

C/C6 Don't wanna hear the bad news

             Dm7
Imagine your face there in his place

C/C6 Standin' inside his brown shoes

Am          F
You do his nine to five,

Em7                 Dm7
Drag yourself home half-alive

    Dm7                                     Am
And there on the screen, a man with a dream

[Chorus]

               Dm7
I heard it was you

                 Am         Am/G   D7/F#
Talkin' 'bout a world where all is free

                 F
It just couldn't be

             C6                   C6/G
And only a fool would say that

[Bridge]

Bm      E7                Am    Am/G    Am/F   Am/E
Anybody on the street has murder in his eyes

       F   Em7  Am                 D7         Dm7/G            C/C6
You'll feel no pain, and you're younger than you realize

       Dm7
Only a fool would say that

       Am Am/G Am/F Am/E Dm7
Only a foooooooooooooooooool
