Intro  G 

C           G7       C7             G7 
   I often think off -- the life I live 
               F7                 Bb7 
   And it's a wonder that I ain't dead 
C7              B7 
   Drinking and gambling 
E7                      Am7 
   And staying out all night 
D7              G7         C    G7 
   Living in a fool's paradise 

C             G7     C7            G7 
   My mother told me -- my father told me too 
F7                   Bb7 
   "Someday my child --- fate will catch up to you 
C7               B7 
   Drinking and gambling 
E7                      Am7 
   And staying out all night 
D7              G7         C 
   Living in a fool's paradise" 

E7    Bm7                    E7      Bm7 
   I though I had learned my lesson 
        A7 
   Like all fools I have met 
        D7 
   But there are things I've learned in this world 
          G7                  G   G7 
   I'll remember to my dying day 

C             G7     C7            G7 
   My father told me -- my mother said it right 
   F7                      Bb7 
   Said "My child, you are ruining your life 
C7              B7 
   Drinking and gambling 
E7                      Am7 
   And staying out all night 
D7              G7         C     G7 
   Living in a fool's paradise"

        A7 
   Like all fools I have met 
             D7 
   But I've learned, that there are things in this world 
           G7                 G   G7 
   I'll remember to my dying day
