	  		I Was A Fool To Care 
(James Taylor) 1975 
 
Em7 Gmaj7 A A/B, Em7 Gmaj7 A A#dim7 
I was a fool to care, Em7 Dmaj7 
I was a fool to care F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7 
I was a fool to care Em7 Dmaj7 
but I don't care even if I was a fool Bm Gmaj7 F#m7 Em7 A4 A 
I'm still in love with you Dmaj7 F#7sus4 F#7 
 
Had I listened to the grapevine, Bm7 Gmaj7 F#m7 
I might have had my doubts Em7 A4 Dmaj7 
But I did my level best just to block them out Bm7 Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm7 E7 D/F#  
"Cause love is so unwise and love has no eyes G A4 A7, D /c# /b /a} 
And it took a while for a fool to see G D 
what his friends were on about E4 E7 
 
I was a fool to care G A D 
I was a fool to care F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7 
I was a fool to care Em7 Dmaj7 
but I don't care even if I was a fool Bm Gmaj7 F#m7 Em7 A4 A 
I'm still in love with you D Bm 
 
Imagining your face,  C G 
it almost fills the empty space before me C Am7 Dmaj7 D 
I can see you eyes and almost hear your lovely lies C G Fmaj7 Em7 A7 
F#7sus4 F#7 
 
I wish I was an old man Bm7 Gmaj7 F#m7 
and love was through with me  Em7 A4 Dmaj7 
I wish I was a baby on my mama's knee Bm7 Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm7 E7 D/F# 
I wish I was a freight train moving down the line G A4 A7, D /c# /b /a}  
Just keeping track of time  G D 
without all these memories Bm E7 
 
I was a fool to care G A D 
I was a fool to care F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7 
I was a fool to care  Em7 Dmaj7 } 
but I don't care even if I was a fool Bm Gmaj7 F#m7 Em7 A4 A 
I'm still in love with you D F#7sus4 F#7 
Baby, yes, I am Bm7 Am7 Gmaj7 } 
I could have opened my eyes,  F#m7 Em7 Gmaj7 A A/B 
I could have seen through your lies  Em7 Gmaj7 A A/B 
I could have stood for no more,   Em7 Gmaj7 A A/B 
I could have walked out the door  Em7 Gmaj7 A F#dim7 
 
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care Em7 Dmaj7, F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7  
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care Em7 Dmaj7, F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7  
You weren't nothing but a fool to care; just a country fool to care. 
{repeat and fade}
