Only A Fool Would Say That 
By Steely Dan (Becker/Fagen) 
Off the album "Can't Buy a Thrill" 
Transcribed by Joe Hankin ([email protected]) 
 
Intro: Dm7 C C6 2x 
 
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   D/F# 
Talkin' 'bout a world where all is free 
                 F 
It just couldn't be 
             C                   C6 
And only a fool would say that 
 
                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) 
 
E7sus4  E7                Am    Am/G    Am/F   Am/E 
Anybody on the street has murder in his eyes 
       Dm   E  Am                 D               F       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 
 
(Guitar Solo: Dm7 Am7 Em7 Dm7 C6) 
 
               Dm7 
I heard it was you 
                Am          Am/G   D/F# 
Talkin' 'bout a world where all is free 
                 F 
It just couldn't be 
            C             C6 
And only a fool would say that 
        Dm7 
Only a fool would say that 
        F                    C6 
Only a fool would say that
